Hows this for Maryland breaking up? I included Frederick Co. because they are always talking about secession. I also included the formation of a new state, Delmarva.

Extend WVa into Carroll County please, then I only need to move eight miles to abandon MD.
You realize that if you all pull any of this off Maryland will be so liberal that I'll need an act of Congress to buy a Super Soaker here in Anne Arundel County.
I have kicked this idea around in western MD. One of the issues we would face are parents who like MD schools over WV. We will need to work hard to convince parents that WV schools are good. This could be a tough sell. I have spoken to politicians in WV that are interested in western MD. They have no interest in the MD political baggage.
Okay guys. I'm making a whole new reply instead of (re) editing my previous one. I'm doing this because my whole attitude is a bit more serious.
After reading some of what ya'll been kicking around and seeing that you have done some homework already, lets get serious!
I mean that. LET'S GET SERIOUS ABOUT THIS IDEA!!! Let's make the contacts. Lets discuss it with our legislators, WV and our county commissioners. Lets' write letters to the editors of our papers. Let's get a movement started! I'm not crazy about throwing the rest of our brothers from down-state under the bus but losing our Congressman was really the last straw for me. If you live out here you KNOW our state legislators, no matter how much they represent our views, have no voice in Annapolis. Maryland government gives us only what bones they decide to throw our way. The rest of the state takes far more than they give.
Anyone interested in getting together to discuss it? I would encourage any serious action to take a backseat to the current fight over 281 but let's not let this idea fade away.
Ok ok ok, Carroll Co has spoken, haha. Or how about a new state, West Maryland?
