The only possible split I can see for the Democrats is with the Greens who could take more votes if the Democrats become too moderate.

it's nutty how socialism is the term de rigueur, i have a military cap i picked up traveling abroad a few years ago, it's fatigue green with a red star, communism. peeps comment on it being so and i usually reply, *well, at least it's not socialism eh*, and that always gets people talking. it's funny how socialism has replaced communism in peep's minds as the ideological boogie man.
