There will never be a single party. If the Republicans go belly-up the Democrats will just split in to two factions.

What I'd like to see is the Republican party split in to two separate parties. The social conservatives and the libertarians. I think the libertarian party could actually be respectable and bring something useful to the political discussion of not weighed down by (what I consider to be) the dead weight of the religious right. You'd still have plenty of the family values types getting elected to Congress from the Midwest and southern states - but the presidential elections would regain some of their sanity, at least.
