It’s interesting to see the county by county breakdown of this. Hillary Clinton and Mike Huckabee seem to appeal to the same areas of lower growth and population density while Barack Obama and John McCain benefit most in areas that attract more “new” Virginians. That’s not to say that Eastern Virginians are any less established or at home than Western Virginians. Just interesting to visualize and it will be interesting to see if these maps look similar come November, only with McCain pulling more votes in the Clinton/Huckabee areas in the east while Obama stays strong in the west.
