for calling my analysis elegant... and thanks for the recommend!

Thanks!
Your analysis only seems elegant because it's missing a central, crucial, complicating factor: NC is nothing like VA. There is nothing like Arlington County or Fairfax County in NC, for example. There is no place like Norfolk/Va Beach in NC either.
... i know that north carolina has the research triangle... ;-)
