Reelection campaigns are about the incumbent, it really doesn't matter too much who the Republican nominee is, it matters more how bad the economy is. A Republican landslide is certainly possible:
Senario 1). If unemployment is above 10% and inflation is above 10% we have the return of Stagflation and Obama would lose badly enough to cause a Republican landslide.
Senario 2) Obama "loses" Iraq and Afghanistan. GM fails after sucking up $100 billion of taxpayer money; healthcare premiums rise dramatically, the economy goes into a "double dip" recession because of increased business costs from cap and trade, healthcare reform, banking reform, tax reform, and a huge backlash against "socialism" leads to a Republican landslide.
