Is this the end of the Democratic party?

No... but perhaps, just perhaps, it's the end of Far Left Wing control of the Democrat Party. Maybe Zell Miller will get his wish afterall.

Is this the end of the Democratic party?

Yes. The old democrat party is gone and has been taken over by a smaller socialist party. The old democrats like Zell have been taken over by the moderate wing of the republican party. Together they will achieve great success.
In the long run I expect the moderate pubs to go against Libertarians. Libertarians are the true descendants of our founding fathers.
