"Alaska and Vermont..."
I don't think there is anything that could make me move to the socialist wonderland that is Vermont. Rutland has the right idea by trying to secede! Heh.
Seriously, we have property in NH - which is a great state once you get several miles north of the border. All the Ma$$holes try to escape MA's high cost of living by moving just over the border only to start complaining about wanting more services and crap. (I guess they don't realize that garbage collection isn't really practical on a dirt road that is miles from anywhere...) NH would be a solid red state if it wasn't for the proximity of MA.
My parents have a Bed & Breakfast in Lyme, NH - which is just north of Dartmouth College and on the border with Vermont. That area is far left, too, unfortunately. Socialists abound.
The rest of NH is pretty sensible, though.
Alaska is right out, though. I don't think my wife wants to move there.
I lived for a couple years up in mid-New Hampshire, it was very nice. Once you get past the lower part of NH (which is packed with Mass tax evaders and illegal aliens) it lives up to the Live Free Or Die motto, although people don't run around flouting the law or abusing freeedom. An interesting aspect is that one friend went for his concealed carry at the local (town) PD and had it the next day.
Also drove around Alaska for a month with a vague notion of perhaps moving there. Its another superb state which I came to call the United State Of Alaska. It's a world unto itself.
I had a choice like that once. Sometimes I do miss her.
