I would say yes, but maybe it is just me

1. Hell yes it does.
I'm from NC, and it's part of the "solid south." If it goes blue, it'll be great! :)

2. I say YES. Winning VA and NC means winning the "Tidewater South"
away from the rest of the South, including the "Mountain South" (KY, WV, TN) and the "Deep South" (SC, GA, AL, MS, LA)

(FL and TX are in categories of their own in the South)
