There were only ten months in-between the shutdown and the election then. Not the year plus as of today. Back then, a year in which Clinton beat the pants off of Dole, the Republicans lost two House Seats and gained two Senate Seats. That shutdown meant nothing and had no effect what so ever on the 96 election.
This time, we/I/they have the internet to keep hope alive as well as what happened in 2010 when your base doesn't vote.
