I find it hard to even imagine Hillary losing that big to Romney

So most seem to think that Clinton would carry only the traditional Democratic strongholds?  What about Massachusetts?  I don't really know about his relative popularity there, so does he really have a chance to win that state?

I'm new at this.  Please bear with me!

Welcome to the forum.

I think most people severely unerestimatee Clinton's electability on a national scale.

As far as Romney goes, he wouldn't have a chance in hell of winning Mass.  He is very unpopular there, especially since his mad dash to the right for the GOP Primaries.

true, Romney didn't stand for reelection in 06 because he knew he would lose.

Hillary 364
Romney 174

Romney's Mormonism gives Hillary a slight bump across the south, enabling her to win LA, AR, VA, and FL. The constitution party gets about 2-3% of the vote, having a sort of "nader effect" on Romney and causing him to lose a couple of states.

i find it VERY hard to see a Republican (especially a northeastern one) LOSING MAINE but winning Maryland, Rhode Island, Washington, and California

[InsideTheBeltway]

At this point, I think McCain and Guiliani are the only Republicans capable of winning nationwide, but this matchup would be close.

I think the closest states would be Oregon, Missouri, Ohio, and Michigan.

yeah... um I know that Washington would vote Clinton over Romney barring some sort of horrible scandel (besides in Washington Dems are usually guarenteed around 46% of the vote to republicans 38% or so... the rest is all thats up for grabs and makes it hard for Republicans to win outside of the eastern part of the state)
