Forget you all. I'm chalking this up to us being the nexus of the universe and you're all envious.
Virginia is the south for all historical purposes. Today is much less southern do to its proxemity with D.C. and the influx of northern influence. Further, its about to go blue in 2008 making it loose more of its credibility. To that end, Pennsylvania is more culturally Southern on its western front that Virginia is outside of its sloping point in Tennesee.
And texas isn't southern in the sense of culture, more geography. If you're concluding they are southern it seems to imply you either don't know Texas culture, or you don't know southern culture.
