Vermont has voted Republican in 33 of the 41 U. S. Presidential elections in which the Republican Party has had a nominee. That is more than any other state. With the exception of 1964, Vermont voted Republican in every presidential election from 1856, the first election that had a Republican nominee, to and including 1988.
Five other states that were granted statehood after 1856 have voted Republican for president a higher percentage of times than Vermont's 80.5%. At the top of the list is Alaska. With the exception of 1964, Alaska has voted Republican in every presidential election since becoming a state. That's 14 out of 15 elections or 93.3%. The other four are North and South Dakota, Kansas, and Nebraska.
Ironically, those states that had voted Republican the most in the first 100 years of the party have voted Republican the least during the past 20 years, and those that voted Republican the least in the Republican Party's first 100 years, the states of the southern region, have become some of the strongest supporters of the party.

What are the presidential primaries?
US primaries are preliminary elections for the purpose of choosing the candidates for the general election. Presidential primaries are the election held in several of the states for the purpose of choosing the candidates for US president. If a sitting US President or other office holder wishes to run again for election, the primaries are usually held for the the party candidates not in office. Thus, as in the last Presidential election, President Obama wished to run for a second 4 year term and there were no other candidates in the Democrat Party that had any inclination to run against him. The primaries are held on different days, starting in January of election years and generate a lot of interest among followers of politics. The primaries are very important and thus each candidate may spend a good amount of money for campaigning purposes. The result of these elections generate delegates from each States party. As an example, and can only be an example, lets assume that in the State of Kentucky holds a primary election to determine how many State delegates are won by candidates for the Republican nomination. These delegates are pledged to the candidates usually on a winner take all basis or divided by percentages of the vote. In most states a voter must be a registered member of the party that they are voting for. Thus in the primaries for the Republican presidential election, Democrat party members cannot vote on whom shall be the Republican presidential nominee. Each State may have different ways to divide the number of delegate's it will send to the Republican national party convention. The primaries for the selection of candidates will or may have a strong result as to whom will appear as a candidate for a particular party in the general elections in November. Each party designates how many delegate votes are required for someone to win the nomination. It is only when one candidate has early on in the primary campaigns won an overwhelming amount of State delegates, and in fact reaches or surpasses the party's stated number of delegates votes required to win are the primary elections that follow often have a meaningless primary election. Thus, primary elections are extremely important in the US's election process.
How many Republican filibusters during Obama administration?

Nobody in Congress is trying to actually impeach Obama in the formal sense of trying to remove him from office. If you mean "impeach" in the sense of trying to make him look bad, this is what parties and politicians do . As for fear of the next election, an incumbent President always has an advantage and the power base that elected Obama the first time seems to still support him. Reports are that Obama has already raised a formidable amount of campaign money. It is always hard to get anyone who feels they have a serious chance to be elected president to run against an incumbent.
