You're projecting 5 consecutive Democratic terms. That's simply not reality. The GOP has imploded while in power, but if they had been always on the outside their reputation would be dramatically different.
Gore would have been hard pressed to hold in '04. No party has managed more than 3 straight terms since FDR. Plus, if 911 had unfolded under Gore he would have been blamed along with Bill Clinton.
If a Democrat wins in '08 there appears to be down the road opportunity for many consecutive terms, assuming demographic shifts continue in places like Virginia and Colorado.
