355-183. She probably would've done worse than Obama. But guys, lets get real, she wouldn't carry Kentucky. Bill barely won it in the 90's, to think she would win it in 2008 is a huge stretch. West Virginia and Arkansas though, might be questionable. I did put WV in Clinton's column because there's a lot of voters that stayed home in 2008/2012 or who voted for McCain that would've voted Hillary. I think Arkansas would be super close, more like 2000, but in the end McCain would win it. She does worse in Indiana and Illinois, better in Missouri, and probably worse in NC and VA.

I agree with this map, other than VA and CO which I think Hillary would have lost to McCain. KY/AR/LA would obviously be closer than with Obama but she still wouldn't have won them (and DEFINITELY won't in 2016)

Hillary Clinton: strong enough to win Safe R states, but evidently not strong enough to win a Lean D state like Colorado.

Was WV really a safe R state going into the '08 election if Hillary is the nominee??  I think you're tainted by what 6 years of Obama have done to the landscape...

Exactly-- WV wasn't a safe R state then, nor was CO a lean D state. 2007 ≠ 2014
