In which states would Hillary have done better than Obama and worse than Obama?

Blue- Obama does better
Red- Clinton does better

This is interesting and I say Obama does better in most places because of the large majority he won by. Hillary Clinton comes off as cold and mean so I think the election would've come down to Ohio between her and McCain.

The fact that you have Obama doing better in Oklahoma is hilarious. Look back to the primary: she carried every single county except Oklahoma (City) County and he just narrowly won that, and McCain carried every single county in the general, and look at how strongly those counties in Little Dixie (close to Arkansas) swung away from him.

She comes off as cold and mean? That must explain why she has the highest approval ratings of any member of the current administration, including Mr. Hope and Change.

Well as far to the right as I am I must say that I like Hillary Clinton best in the Obama administration. That doesn't say much other than to me the administration is horrible. Secondly, ok so make Oklahoma red if you want to.

green - Hillary would have done better than Obama
blue - Hillary would not have done as well as Obama
grey - little difference or very difficult to predict

I'd change NM and AZ from Green to Grey.  Otherwise, I think you're right.

I'd also change MT, UT, ID, KS, and AK to blue (though only the first might've made a difference in outcome if the recession hit a month earlier), and probably Ohio to green.

I couldn't find anyone's comments on a firing squad. I thought they abolished that in Utah about 10 years ago.

Clinton does better in- PA, NJ, RI, MA, NY, CT, ME, MI, AR, ME
Obama does better in- all other states

Never under estimate the Clintons and what they're capable of pulling in politics.

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.

Tennessee is about as likely to go democrat as Texas.
