I think the joke writers will be a victim of their own success. McCain and Palin were easy targets, and the material the writers produced was funny and devastating. I'd bet the satire will cost McCain/Palin more than a few %. in the voting. Obama and Biden will not be nearly as much fun, so these guys will have to work a lot harder for the next four years, and we'll all suffer from the less entertaining send-ups.
The disparate satric treatment is ironic, as McCain has a good sense of humor and is refreshingly self-deprecating and open. It's easier to trust a person (politician, associate, boss) who can laugh at his own idiosyncrasies and mistakes. Obama doesn't seem have much of this in him, which is too bad.
