the future of political art

What happens to political art if Barack Obama wins? Michael Moynihan of reasononline.com dicusses how the past eight years were "boom years" for political artists. Satirizing Obama is a risky game (recall the New Yorker cover) so what angle will artists take if not a critical one? And when i say "critical" i mean careful, exact, thoughtful evaluation and judgment and not saying just negative things...just so we are clear.
