Gosh, with all you guys avoiding I-95, that must be why I was able to do Port St Lucie to the Delaware Memorial Bridge in 16 hours the weekend after Thanksgiving!
Seriously, if you haven't driven it RECENTLY, it has been majorly improved. There's about 9 lanes in either direction between Baltimore and DC, and even the stretch south of DC towards Richmond is much better than it was a few years ago. As long as you are NOT flowing the same way as rush-hour traffic, it's not all that bad. Yeah, an accident can tie things up, but that's true anywhere.
US 301 is a nice road, but it will take about a week to get from Delaware to Jacksonville if you use it.
The OP doesn't really need a route from Maine to Florida - he needs one from Maine to Baltimore. Once south of Baltimore, it's pretty much a breeze no matter which route you take. Without more details on what the OP wants to avoid, or see, or his final destination, too many suggestions will simply confuse the issue.
