Is Maryland trying to secede from the South? -
Marylanders may live just south of the Mason-Dixon line, but there are signs that many would like to secede from the South and cozy up to the North.
As Associated Press writer Brian Witte points out, for example, lawmakers have successfully petitioned to move from the Southern Region of the Council of State Governments to the Eastern Region, where they'll be able to trade ideas with fellow officials from Pennsylvania, and New York.
"The South, which we have been a part of for more than 50 years, is a fabulous region, but the politics have changed dramatically, and much of the politics are dominated by tea party activists," says Maryland Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, a Democrat.
