Geography Lesson

Apparently journalist Chris Wallace needs a lesson in basic American geography. In interviewing Joe Biden, he refers to Delaware as a northeastern liberal state. Um, Chris, look at a map. As one who spent a big chunk of his life in Delaware, let me say we ain't northeasterners. New England is northeast. (Northeast is in the upper right of the map, Chris. North means the top, and east means the right.) We're mid-Atlantic, like our neighbors in Maryland and Virginia. Is it really too much to ask that commentators like Wallace have at least a passing understanding of the structure of our country?
