Maryland is my home state (I was born and raised in Cumberland). I currently live in Alabama, and want to move back, but Virginia is as far as I will go. It's a shame, too - that state, overall, is actually fairly conservative. But that strip down the center of the state, along I-95 - Montgomery, Prince Georges, Howard, and Baltimore counties - is stacked with your garden-variety urban rabble, and the rest of the state pays for it. I find it amusing when I hear the seni-annual talk about Maryland re-absorbing the District of Columbia because of the ongoing fiscal and corruption problems. My view is the opposite: give the I-95 gauntlet to DC, and liberate the rest of the state. We'll just consider I-270 and the Beltway 'flyover country'. LOL
