i don't have any problem with this quote. for those of you that haven't been to virginia, washington, D.C. and its suburbs are nothing like the rest of virginia. the suburbs of washington are what Ms. Pfotenhauer are referring to, and the suburban sprawl and population growth are massive in this area. perhaps a proper way to phrase this would've been 'virginia proper' or 'outside the beltway', etc. as much as i disagree with this statement in that there are plenty of working class people in eastern and southern virginia who will vote for obama, i don't see this quote attacking northern virginia as 'un-american'. this is a quote taken out of context.
