If its MCain he will be 4 years older and be the president of economy that will be rough on the country for his first couple years. No way at 76/77 he gets a 2nd term.

Well I agree about McCain because of his age.....BUT, the democrats seemed to overreach during Clinton's first term, and they paid for it in the midterm elections....but Clinton used that to his advantage to win a 2nd term.
Barack's fate isn't tied to that of congressional democrats in 2012. In the oval office, you make your own luck.
FWIW, Barack will have alot more control over congressional democrats than Clinton did, because Clinton never won a majority of the popular vote and never had that "mandate".
