What if Hillary Clinton won the Democratic nomination in 2008 over Barack Obama and defeated John McCain in the 2008 election, how would the 2010 midterms look like? Would it have brought the same results or would they have been different?

It still would have been a disaster. Obama and Clinton are relatively in equal in how much Republicans hate them. They would have found some way to manipulate the masses, as they always do, gin up Republican turnout, and win similarly.

I think the Democrats still don't fare great but with Hillary as president the Democrats would have still done better than IRL.

I think with Hillary as president the Democrats hold on to the Senate seats in Arkansas, Wisconsin and just mamaybe Indiana, which would limit the Democrats' losses to 3 or 4 seats rather than the IRL 6, and I think the Democrats would hold on to the Governorship in Ohio, Wisconsin and Florida, which would yet again limit their losses to 3 seats. In the House I'm guessing a loss of maybe 30 seats; I'm not sure about that though.

Are we presuming the exact same Senate seats fell as IRL here in 2008?
