Assuming the circumstances were otherwise the same (the economic crisis and Bush's ratings in the cellar), Hillary probably could have won Arkansas. Bill would have made it a point to campaign heavily there, and the Democrats were much stronger in 2008 (with a Democratic governor, two senators, and state legislature) than they are today. Perhaps no state has gone down as fast for the Democrats as Arkansas in the last seven years.
West Virginia would have been tougher. Hillary would probably done a little better than Gore did in 2000 but I would still have to give the state to the Republicans.
