'Those in the northern part of the state say their cosmopolitan outlook stands in stark contrast to the rest of Virginia, which was the home of the Confederacy's capital during the Civil War in the 1860s.

"Folks there tend to be independent and by independent I mean not that affiliated with the rest of the world," business consultant Tim Miller, 24, said at a Starbucks coffee shop in the restored historic district of the Washington suburb of Alexandria.

Webb drew 71 percent of the vote in Alexandria, as well as 73 percent in adjacent Arlington County.

Allen's strongest support came farther south in the suburbs of Richmond and in the Shenandoah Valley -- places like rural Rockingham County, where he won support from nearly three out of four voters."
