Maryland is a weird state. My family came from the western part two generations ago. The western side is about as blue collar country folk as you can possibly get. It’s Beautiful farm land and a few old industrial towns where time just stopped abound 1940. The eastern side is Baltimore and Fredrick which is liberal hell.

I have in-laws from there. Baltimore has long been a Dem stronghold. Nancy's father and brother were mayors. With the growth of the federal government, government workers have spread out into the surrounding areas of Maryland, now reaching to Frederick County. That area used to be beautiful dairy farms, now, increasingly, they grow houses and liberals. The families that have been there for generations are generally conservative, normal people. Western Maryland and parts of the Eastern Shore are still that way, but the numbers are with the Baltimore and DC overspill. After 9/11, the feds moved some offices out to Winchester, VA, which was a nice little community in the lower Shenandoah Valley -- just a beautiful place. It too has changed dramatically.
