There doesn't seem to be much ideological difference between Republicans and Democrats anymore. It'll be interesting to see what sort of ideological realignment occurs. "Neoconservatives" could probably find themselves pretty comfortable with the far left if they could see fit not to squabble over inane issues like abortion and gay marriage.
