after the Second Revolution term limits will be abolished in favour of the philosophy of leaving office when "one feels like it" or when "ones head comes off."

one term. McCain will loose to Warner or retire do to age. Obama will become the new Jimmy Carter. Hillary would likely loose due to her unpopularity.

Given the very significant number of US Presidents who haven't, for whatever reason, served precisely one term or two terms, (I make it around 18 or so) the poll options are flawed.

History though suggests Lewis is about right...

I expect after Obama rids the world of poverty and fixes every problem America has, he'll be elected to a life term until he dies. Just my guess.

Based on history, only one.

And, a request, lets not speculate if McCain will die in the middle of his first term.  He may be old, but he's in good health, and I think he will last a full term, if not two.  Heck, his 96-year-old mother is still alive and goes with him to most of his campaign events.

I never want to speculate if a politician will die during his or her term.

And, lets not factor his death into our predictions, please.

Now, back to the topic, the 44th President, Republican or Democrat, male or female, will have a huge mess to clean up from the 43rd President that he or she will become tainted with the Bush mess stained on their hands, even while trying to clean it up that we will most likely be inauguarating the 45th President in January 2013.

People will be less likely to believe Obama to be capable of that after Beelzebush failed to deliver on his promise to bring about the return of Jesus Christ and inaugurate a millenium of peace and tranquility.  (After, of course, the homosexuals, Wiccans and other evildoers are cast into the gas chambers Lake of Fire for all eternity.

If he's elected, Obama's cult followers will try (and succeed) to pass a constitutional amendment repealing term limits. He will reign forever.

I don't know depends on whether or not he or she makes a ruddy arse of their first term. Of course, there are no guarantees that that president would not be re-elected in 2012.
