Hillary looked a lot more electable early in 08 just based on what was coming out about him (Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers etc.) I think Obama actually underperformed what a generic D would've gotten in 2008. With Bush unpopular, the world out of control, and the economy collapsing the D ticket should've won in a landslide double digit victory but a 7% 360+ EV victory seems kind of paltry considering the circumstances. Hillary would've likely won by 10% in 2008 and close to 400 EV had she been the nominee.
