>The educated section of Virginia; Northern VA is more Dem.<

Oh please. No doubt the DC spillover regions of Virginia (Fairfax county and Alexandria) are generally Democrat, but even here there are pockets of conservatism. I have a few friends in McLean, Springfield and Oakton who claim their districts seem always to vote straight Republican. These areas have some of the highest incomes of Virginia. Not surprisingly they also generally possess some of the most educated people of the state. In the northcentral to northwestern Piedmont the people are very educated and very many of them are Republican.

Surely, Virginia has its share of rednecks, as do New York and California, but many of these have historically been Democrats. I doubt very seriously Willie Horton caused even these lowlifes to switch and remain Republican. Despite their general ignorance they are not so dumb as to remain blind to the tax and spend doctrines of the Democrat party. Even the redneck will change and look for solutions when he senses dollars mysteriously disappearing from his wallet.
