The Willie Horton thing was big in Maryland.

There were other factors as well.  Maryland had heated controversies about school busing for integration in the 1970s, and 1988 was not too far removed from that.  Maryland also had a certain amount of suburban voters who, back then, were liberal Republicans.  (Some of the last of the type.)
