White voters aren't monolithic. Maryland has the well-educated liberals in Montgomery County, yes, but there are also plenty of suburban/exurban Republicans in Anne Arundel, Harford, and Carroll Counties, and of course rural Dixiecrats on the Eastern Shore.
Obama probably won whites in Montgomery and Howard Counties, but he also lost badly among whites in the more rural parts of the state. If they had polled the Eastern Shore, the racial breakdown would likely have looked like Georgia or South Carolina; look at Somerset County, about 40% black but Obama didn't win there.
