Re: Not surprised said by Time:He will be a one term President - just like Jimmy Carter. Depends on who Rs run against him. Remember how bad Clinton looked after Whitewater, Monica, cigars, etc? And the Rs ran Dole? And Clinton won? (OMG!).
Right now, extremist Rs are hoping for a "Republican Revolution" revival in the 2010 mid-term elections. They're threatening moderate Rs, etc. I don't think they have the popular support for that kind of political overreaction.
Clinton was elected to his first term with 38% of the vote (thanks to Perot). He (and Democrats generally) governed like they received a huge mandate. Obama received a relative landslide compared to Clinton (especially when you consider the electoral college), yet he's been profusely timid compared to Clinton's first two years. He's continued Bush's spending programs. He's alienating those who believed he was really going to do something different. That the election was a "referendum."
So, I don't see a "Republican Revolution" in the near future. Rs will probably run a moderate like they did in the last election. In that case, liberals still win because it will demonstrate (like the last election) that the population is more moderate than Radical (irrational) Republicans (teabaggers, etc.).
