Look to what happened in Britain, after they had a chance to sample how terrible being governed by a left wing government really is. British voters eventually turned round and gave the Labour Party(Britain's Democratic Party) the worst drubbing ever, and voted overwhelmimngly for the Conservative Party:

Thing is, Obama is far worse then the British Labour party ever was. At least Tony Blair strongly supported taking out the Taliban, and Saddam. Obama woulda had unconditional talks with them, and kissed their butts like carter did.
But then again, I seriously doubt if a hard line, left wing extremist like Obamination can ever win a Presidential election in this country. This sucker's more lefwting than McGovern, Dukkakis, and Mondale ever were, and they all lost by massive amounts.
Uh, labor has been in power for 10 years and the elections you cite are local not parliamentary elections.
In the meantime, damage was done. Britain is a shadow of its former imperial self, due to a century of socialism.
Obama in power might beget a backlash *or* it might beget so much economic malaise that, like the Great Depression, the people keep voting for more socialism.
I dont think its worth sending USA down the toilet just to fix a problem with too many moderates in the GOP leadership.
