new england....1976 and 2005

Vermont seems to be much more socially liberal.  It consists of a lot of out-of-touch flakes who have fallen off the grid, and choose to live in a museum.  Don't get me wrong; I love visiting the state.  It is beautiful; but I'd never want to live there.

There#s one slight problem with that... Vermont has a higher percentage born in the state than... say... Connecticut or New Hampshire. ie Vermont hasn't (primarily) changed due to immigration, but to realignment. In fact, New Hampshire would probably be a lot more like Vermont if it wasn't for the many upper-class immigrants from Massachusetts.
