Considering the South's long-term realignment in favor of the Republicans I was wondering if Hillary Clinton could be a better fit for the South than Obama was.

Can win VA FL NC but Georgia is a stretch for now.

What about her chances of winning Arkansas? It's given that in case of, say, a 9% lead nationwide, Hillary is likely to win FL, NC, and VA.  But I think that Georgia is likelier to vote for Hillary.  For that Democrats need to step up efforts to register voters in the state, and for all my optimism I doubt they will recruit enough.

3 is the most likely result, 4 is unlikely.

I don't really think she'll be able to compete in Georgia barring a real landslide, but she could grab three.

Does MO count as Confederate?

I voted yes because the question was worded too broadly…

yes, she could win 4 states: VA, FL, NC, GA…

but this seems unlikely. 

If she did win I think it would be on the strength of minority voters moreso than broader appeal to whites.
Hmm...too broadly?  I gave you the option to vote 'Other'.

Hillary has a path to 47% in Georgia, it's just that the state is so inelastic that it's probably 2020 or even 2024 before it flips. Once it's a swing state it's not going back solid red.

VA, FL, NC, either GA or SC is easy and likely at this point.

I can almost guarantee Arkansas will vote >55% for Trump.

To answer the question, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida are the obvious three. I think South Carolina will probably flip just a bit after Georgia does, because of ads overflowing from the media markets in NC and GA alongside South Carolina having a bit more flexibility than Georgia.

Option 3, but GA is not outside the realm of possibility.
