No. If anything, NJ is set to be the next Vermont.

NJ is the most urbanized state in the country and has a perfect combination of liberal white centers, union presence, heavily minority areas, etc. It's a Democratic goldmine.
I don't know of any liberal white centers. True about he union presence though "The Teachers Union" is very powerful.

Hoboken? Tenafly?

This. It is likely Dem in all presidential elections, highly urban and suburban mostly everywhere else minus your Pine Barrens and some parts down the shore, and there are demographic projection reports out there that make it maj-min in a few decades. It's not going Republican anytime soon. Locally and state (see Christie and Whitman) it can swing for moderate Reps but this is a rare thing.

That's not what Vermont is, however. New Jersey is nothing like Vermont. This is beyond elementary.

I was using Vermont in the sense of "ultra-safe democratic state"
