Richmond proper, sure, but the suburbs? I always thought that outside NoVa the state displayed fairly typical Southern voting patterns.

There's also the area down by Norfolk which has a lot of people - lots of blacks, lots of military, lots of industry (big, big naval base and shipbuilding area) I have no idea how they vote.

Yes and no.  Along the Potomac and the Chesapeake, it's liberal.  The western suburbs of Richmond are conservative, the eastern ones are Tim Kaine.  Like I've said, Richmond is kind of like Atlanta: massive core of Dems, with wingers to the W and moderates to the E.
