I'm torn.  TX is pretty clearly moving toward tilt R/swing state status by the mid 2020's, but I can't ever see it actually "turning blue" on a long term basis.  In ND or SD there isn't a meaningful Democratic trend at present, but with their low populations, they could swing more rapidly with population growth.  A wind energy boom later this decade or in the 2020's could turn them very blue very fast.

Well I think Utah is trending left in that if the Democrats have a year like 2006 in 2020, they would win some statewide offices in UT.  It won't be giving its electoral votes to a Democrat anytime before 2040, though.
