Something that I've always wondered about. Vermont has the makings of a Republican state, it is rural, agricultural, and over 95% white. Up until the 90's Vermont only voted for the Democratic nominee once. In fact, Vermont is one of the only two states in the union never to vote for Franklin Roosevelt (the other being Maine). But now, it gave Barack Obama and John Kerry some of their best performances, and of its two senators one is a Democrat, the other is an open socialist. So can anyone explain to me how/why this happened?
