I seem to remember though there was a plan to incorporate Washington and its residents into Maryland; if the democratic party indeed dismissed that idea right away, then I might see (not necessarily agree with) SSF's point of a potential power play.
The problem is that it would take a constitutional amendment to make it so Washington could be incorporated into Maryland. Because the Constitution states that DC is to be under congressional authority, they cannot be a part of another state.
