March 7, 8:32 pm EST --George Bush won comfortably despite a strong turn-out from Independents. In the Democratic race, labor unions and African-Americans helped Al Gore to a landslide.


Sitting on the famous Mason-Dixon line, Maryland has historically been moderate with a slight Democratic slant. Governor Parris Glendening (D), was first elected in 1994 and won a second term in 1998 with 56 percent of the vote. Both Maryland senators are Democrats.

However, Maryland's eight House seats are divided equally between the parties, revealing a demographic variety that spans the Democratic leanings of urban Baltimore to the conservative bent and more Southern feeling of the Eastern Shore.

Maryland gave Clinton his third-highest percentage in 1992 and his fifth-best in 1996.
