Notice how it is never a story about splits in the Democratic Party.
Actually I've seen far too many stories about Dean and the hard left controlling the Dems. Expect more "Republican split" stories as every Republican runs for president in about 2 years. I will say that I've seen plenty of thrashing on FreeRepublic on what I would describe as libertarian views versus... um those who are less concerned with individual civil liberties (characterize them however you will). Whether this rises to the level of a rift, I guess we'll see.
Are there really splits in the Democratic party? Aren't they all communists at heart?
