I like to think of Vermont as an extension of Upstate New York... and it's important to remember that Vermont is not a Democrat state at all... the balance between Democrats and Yankee Republicans is actually very tight.
What's tipped Vermont towards the Dems recently is the Progressive Party (which, believe it or not, actually has some members in the State House) which is strong around Burlington.

I have a feeling that some of the strong Republican states may start swinging to the Democrats as the population increases (FL, GA, AZ, NV, NC).  

Agree on GA and NC, disagree on FL... and not sure on AZ and NV

I thought you meant: swing towards the Dems from now...
Florida has swung away from the GOP since their heyday in the 1980's (although the conservative suburbs continuned to grow, there was a sudden growth in liberal suburbs)
