Vermont is generally an anti-war state. It swung Republican in 2000 when Bush campaigned on a 'humble' foreign policy, when it turned out to be a farce, Vermont swung the most against Bush of all states in 2004. Another example might be 1964, when Johnson campaigned as the candidate of peace, and Goldwater was painted as the candidate of war. Even though Vermont was heavily Republican, it voted against Goldwater because he was perceived as the 'pro-war' candidate.

So, Vermont doesn't like warmongers, that's pretty much how it goes.
