Virginia is an odd cultural mix. Up north it's a very wealthy part of the D.C. metro area. Get down south a bit and it's Appalachia.
For a smaller sized state, Kentucky is broken up culturally, a bit. But except for a couple of big urban areas everybody here is culturally close enough to get along.
Virginia has two cultural extremes going on. When the inevitable clash finally occurs, I wouldn't be surprised if it started in Virginia.
