I predict that it will split after the 2008 Election.
The moderates are against the Neocons and vise a versa.

You must be new to this. The party that will have the greatest problems is the Democratic Party and here is why. Hillary has high negative numbers. No one with negatives this high has ever gotten elected.
Congress has the lowest approval rating in modern history. The Democrats run Congress. They will take the brunt of public dissatisfaction.
Look, even if you believe Hillary's own campaign's numbers, she needs at least 25% of Republican women to vote for her. They are counting on those women. I just do not see that happening.
Finally, in your moderates vs neocon assumption, the Democratic party is far more divided than the Republican. On the one hand you have the Move on dot com bunch and the radical Code Pink lefties. Most of the Democrats are not that radical nor anti war. There are a lot of Union Members that are very patriotic. Just drive by any construction site in Americal and you will see an American flag flying. They are being alienated by the anti-military rhetoric from the extreme left.
There is also the fact that New Yorkers who feel they were personally attacked on 9/11 while usually reliable Democrats they are not that convinced that the Democratic Party is offering them any real protection. They all know Rudy and they all love the guy. He gave them back their city when Dinkins completely surrendered it to the criminal element. Now you can walk the streets and even bring the family to the City. That was strictly because of Rudy's leadership. Don't forget how he managed to lead on 9/11, too.
There is a very real kinship in New York between Rudy and the voters. They elected him mayor twice. A lot of New Yorkers do not like that Hillary moved to their state ran for the Senate and promised she was not going to leave to run for higher office.
Do not be surprised if Hillary fails to carry New York.
While talking tough, the Democrats are worried. Worried enough to bring in Michael Bloomberg to try to prevent the Democrats that do not want Hillary from voting Republican. He will run as a third party alternative. Believe me, they have run the numbers and know Hillary cannot win in a one on one battle against any Republican. Her only chance is a third party candidate to "Ross Perot" her into the White House. But Bloomberg is not Ross Perot. I do not think even that will work for her.
We shall see, we shall see.

I don't know about dead, but i predict in 10-20 years, there will be a split in the Republican and Democratic parties, which will not leave them the same. Moderate Republicans and Cons cannot see eye-to-eye - Moderate Dems and Libs cannot see eye-to-eye. This will bring about the strengthening of the Unity party, and then we can all have the fun of 3 major parties fighting.

dormant yes dead no!
despised as they be and underhanded for sure but necessary just as evil defines virtue(or vice/versa if you want).
We unfortunately need to avoid a single party system what we need to change is what that party stands for----they will be the money interests for sure but if can't humanize them then we are doomed !
Like wise the Democrats are not pure either it is just a matter of happenstance that the Republicans foisted duds upon us in a time when we were most vulnerable.
George W. Bush has to be good at something ?Its just that we don't know what it is !

Until the democratic party does something wrong. There have been many shifts in which political party has control of the executive branch...and even if the president is democratic, almost half of Congress is still Republican, so the party isn't gonna die anytime soon.
Not all Republicans are like Bush...Thompson for Pres '08!!

You mean after a Republican wins? I don't get it. When was it ever unofficially dead?
Can you tell me the last time a Democrat served two terms in the Presidency without being impeached?

Dude, that kind of sounds like your dream. Reality check: if Hillary wins the nomination... four more years of a republican in office.

No.I am supporter of the Democrats.I know the strength and weaknesses of USA.Republicans will bounce back after one or two terms.Anti incumbency factor comes into operation and the ruling Party is thrown away.This will happen in future.

If liberals gain any additional seats the country is dead, not the party. You must be overlooking the approval rating of congress which to most people would indicate changing leadership from liberals to conservatives is the way to go.

I don't really understand the U.S.A.'s parties, saying that I'm from Britain so a lot of things are different plus we are socialist and as far as I'm aware the U.S.A. are capitalist?
