From the end Reconstruction up until a few years ago the Democratic Party controlled the South. Except for VA, and that was until the 1970s (I think). The two party South is a new phenomenon.

Ok. Yes, you are correct. When I said "long tradition" I was speaking of the last couple of decades. Which of course is not long at all.

But my point is still valid, that a gubernatorial race in Virginia going Democratic even though it is a solid red state is nothing new.
