My guess would be the lingering effects of both 9/11 and the Beltway sniper shootings bringing some moderates into the Bush camp in a place where there are a lot of affluent DC commuters.

Actually, no. The suburbs actually swung toward Kerry, but that appears to have been more than canceled out by Baltimore and the rural areas swinging toward Bush. I assume the Baltimore swing is a reflection of Kerry doing weaker than Gore with blacks.
