“Republicans generally have taken Tidewater/Va. before Obama.Va is and will return from blue to a red state.”
Not so sure. The population growth in the last 10 years has been in the People’s Republic of Northern VA, with west/central VA and tidewater losing representatives. Relatively speaking.
And politically, tidewater has been sort of the wildcard. Some tidewater seats have been like a ping pong ball. I don’t see that changing.
In Mississippi, voters were picking a new governor to succeed Haley Barbour, who could not run again because of term limits. Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant appeared poised to keep the governor’s mansion in GOP hands. He faced Hattiesburg Mayor Johnny Dupree, the first black major-party nominee for governor in Mississippi.
