Democrats were not flying higher in 1993 than 2009, their president only won with 43% of the vote and they lost seats in congress. Also the GOP was much more popular in 1993 than 2009 as the Reagan/Bush years were much more popular than the Bush Jr years
I was using AlabamaIndy's logic to make my point. It doesn't matter how little Clinton won by, or whether Democrats lost a handful of seats. The point was that in terms of raw political power, Democrats were even in a better situation than Republicans were right now, and yet that all ended rather quickly. Hence it not being a good predictor of future success.
That just goes to show how strong of a 2 party country we are. And how the demise of either party is greatly overstated.
