Consider this.  The Republican party continues to lurch to the populist
right of Sarah Palin and Huckabee.  The Democratic Party maintains its
legislative majority, but it has its divisions within.  The Democratic Party
maybe a "ruling class" party, but there are different interests within it.
 Evan Bayh is currently forming a senate version of the right-of-center
"Blue Dogs" there are still centrist "New Democrats" within the party, but
there is a also a progressive Congressional Progressive Caucus, some of
whoms members have operative social democratic politics.  There will bit of
infighting within both parties and the economic crisis can any compound
things. A strengthening of progressive forces and friction within both
parties could lead to a division of both parties on ideological lines.

It may seem Utopian, but it wasn't too long ago that Dixiecrats reigned
indisputably in the south.  It's more likely than the Green Party coming to
any sort of prominence.  It's not like the Green Party is even very
receptive to socialists.
