This map looks about right to me, though I think I would switch RI, SD and Arizona.
I'd only flip AZ, but yeah, that's a good map.
I agree with that too. Wyoming who knows? I don't think any math has been done between Obama and Clinton matched up against McCain there. I'm not sure if Clinton would've won Florida or Ohio either.
No, Hillary would have won FL and OH, and she would ahve done so by a larger margin than Obama. She was much more popular among blue-coillar workers and seniors than he was.
Obama appeared as moderate though. Hillary Clinton wouldn't have been able to avoid her positions on social issues and in a state like Florida that will not go over well. Ohio is similar but the economy may have tipped it to her favor. I think Hillary and McCain would've come down to Ohio like Bush and Kerry.
Obama, a moderate? LOL on what planet? The entire media (left and right) painted him as the more liberal candidate. Hell, even right-wing commentator Ann Coulter said that she would vote for Hillary over McCain because Hillary was more "conservative." You may not remember but liberals hated her when Obama came along, all because of her vote for the Iraq War and because she's a foreign policy hawk.
IIRC, she did win the disputed primary in Florida. Social issues weren't nearly as big of an issue in 2008 as they were in 2004. Like someone said above, Florida has many of the demographics in her favor and is the oldest state in the nation, so she probably could have won senior citizens over McShame. Plus, I read somewhere where there are a lot of transplants from New York who live in South Florida. I don't know; I won't speculate on Florida politics, but she did have the endorsement of Sen. Bill Nelson, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, etc.
No doubt in my mind she would have won Florida and by a bigger margin than Obama.
