What if Mitt Romney had pulled off a victory over John McCain in the Republican New Hampshire Primary in 2008?

Romney and Huckabee become the main contenders for the GOP nomination, with Huckabee winning the South and Romney winning everywhere else. Romney becomes the GOP nominee and proceeds to lose to Obama in a landslide.
 
Why would Romney lose in a landslide? For one thing, you can bet he won't go down without a fight like McCain did (I never understood why McCain never really tried to win or take of the kid gloves). For another, he will never put Sarah Palin on the ticket, making the ticket stronger yet.

I never said Romney would lose by a larger margin than McCain. He could have lost by a smaller margin. However, due to Bush's unpopularity, the economic crisis, and Romney's lack of charisma, he would lose to Obama by a large margin regardless of whom he would have picked for VP.
