From my PoV, demographic trends & voting trends combine to signal an end to anything at all like the extremism that has been the hallmark of the Republican Party for the last 25+ years. I'm very much hoping that the end result will cause the US to look more like the nations of Western Europe. I'm especially hopeful, because I think Obama is going to be an exceptionally popular president, and so we won't have to worry about a presidential election until 2016, by which time current demographic trends will have further solidified, with voters who are now 18-30 and those who are now too young to vote being a far larger percentage of the voting age population than they are now.
