What's going on in Washington?
It's a common trope in zombie movies for the government and military to become useless and redundant at an early stage of the apocalypse, and Kirkman's WD universe is no exception as far as its cynicism goes. Like Lee said in episode 3 upon observing a crashed plane, "so much for the military."
All the same, I would love to see S2 actually take us right into the capital of America, just to see what happened to the "people at the top" who were supposed to be responsible for saving the world. Try to picture the characters wandering through abandoned structures of former power like the White House, or the Pentagon. Is there really no one left? Or is the President and a few generals stashed away somewhere in a private bunker, formulating their own plans to take back the North American continent?
The WALKING DEAD has been a very insular, microscopic view of the zombie apocalypse thus far, but it would be cool if Telltale opened up our world a LITTLE bit just to see how the people in charge screwed things up.

Speak about the crashed plane. I wonder how did that plane crashed, attacked by walker up in the sky? Back to your topic, everyone is suppose to be the same identity as survivors in such zombie apocalypse. They will do the same thing in order to survive to survive.
I'm not gonna spoil anything but the short answer is : Read the comics...
I actually stopped reading the comics a while ago, to be honest. If something was revealed, I missed out on it.
It would be very dumb to go to big city in such a situation...
I don't think it could happen...
Sorry for the clash of gene and aeration =/
Hit the nail on the head there, Clem-In-A-Tin.
Besides, I told Clementine to stay away from cities. She won't be going there if I have a say in it
