Speaking of Delmarva, how's this for a wonderful plan for the Eastern Shore: DE, MD eastern shore and the eastern shore of VA are all quite conservative. Therefore, they should seceed from MD and form the state of Delmarva, avoiding all the voter fraud and machine politics of PG and Montgomery counties which combine with Balto City to give us abortions like Spendenning.

Great Idea, but you would need to only take the "below the canal" part of Delaware to make it work. Otherwise, the Wilmington metro area would rule the whole area. Wilmington and its surroundings could be annexed into PA.
By the way, for the those who never lived in Delaware, "below the canal" refers to the part of Delaware below the Chesapeake and Delaware canal.
