I'll go out on a limb and say that Hillary would have won Arkansas, which still was Clinton State at that time. The PUMAs mattered much back then.

To answer the actual question:
Simply no.

You have to consider that a devastating economy crisis was going on and that Bush was an extremely unpopular president back then. Plus, under a very old, ailing President McCain the USA would have run the risk of getting a President Palin. There's no way Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa would have voted McCain. I'm not sure about Colorado, which is a bad fit for Clinton, but she'd probably have had a leg-up on him.
