Well Vermont is already RED....like in Marxist.
I knew (worked with...old school chums, etc) some of the Brooklyn, NY, progressive types who all upped and moved (some just as a vacation home but with voting privileges), to Vermont in the 70s and 80s to purposely take over an entire state (Ben and Jerry are classic examples).
it would be wonderful to think that the pendulum is swinging back the other way.
It would but it's not happening any time soon. Voting was low in this non-presidential election and the center and right were extremely concerned about Shumlin-care. Our largest private employer, IBM, had been teetering on closing for a few years and people worried single-payer would push them and others out of state.
