Maryland: DC-Baltimore corridor- Rest of state.

Luckily, the DC-Balt is a lot bigger than the rest of the state, so it's a reliably Democratic one. Look at a county map, and you'll see what I mean.

Maryland and Pennsylvania are very similar in that respect.  I agree with this assessment.  Some parts of MD make me think I'm in Massachusetts and others make me think I'm in Alabama.  New Jersey has some surprising differences as well for being such a small state.

It's PA.  Basically the whole state was carried democrat on Pittsburg and Philadelphia.  A huge percent in Phila voted democrat, like 75%, and in all the rural areas everyone was bush.

Some parts of MD make me feel like I'm in the Bronx. (Go to an Orioles game and you'll see what I mean) Maryland has a lot of people who could be from the Philly area, but I don't think we have too many blue-collar pro-life "Pittsburgh" Democrats.

"Pittsburgh Democrats" could be found in NE Philly to a point as well.  I wouldn't think you have many in Maryland.  You either have really liberal in the Balt-Wash corridor or really conservative in the mountains or Eastern Shore.  Pennsylvania has a very wide cross-section on the political compass of Liberal-Libertarian-Populist-Conservative.

Southern Texas vs. rest of state

Some of the strongest democratic counties are found in Texas. Some of the strongest republican counties are found in Texas.

Overall I would say that the greatest general political difference is the Austin area verses the rest of Texas.

Their are a lot of conservatives in N.W. Baltimore City and in Baltimore County north of the city.

They don't really hold much power, it seems to me, or at least enough power to get their candidates elected.
