Switch Romney and McCain

[An American Tail: Fubart Goes West]

Anything other than an Obama landslide in 2008 is delusional. He was close to landslide territory in 2008 (I’d call it a landslide if he had won MO and MT). Against Romney? lol Rmoney would be the worst person other than Dick Cheney or George Bush (if he was eligible). I don’t think there’s any running mate that would’ve helped either.

As for 2012, it’s hard to say. I’m assuming that Obama might have a few more senate Dems, so Obamacare might be very different than it ended up being. McCain still probably would have lost though. As we saw this past year, incumbency is still very much an advantage. I’m not sure how badly McCain would’ve lost by, but I would assume he would do something along the lines of our timeline’s Romney 2012, give it take a bit. Palin wouldn’t be his VP nominee, so that could help him.
