The most obvious one is Wisconsin. Rural areas are moving further and further to the right, and Madison's growth is not strong enough to combat that. The state elected a GOP legislature strongly in 2010, along with a GOP Senator and Governor. They also nabbed every constitutional office besides Auditor. This year, they reelected a polarizing, though not unpopular Governor by a larger margin than 2010 and look ready to get another Republican Senator, going from two Democratic Senators to two Republican Senators in just two years. Both the congressional seats they nabbed look solid as well. Romney is also very competitive in the state. Some of his advisers see it as an easier win than Ohio, in fact, according to Politico.
I also see all these trending red in the long-term except NH, Oregon, and Washington, but Wisconsin's the most obvious.
