"The only thing you'll change is the balance of power..."

Let's get real!
This old song and dance is getting old.
We staunch Conservatives who have been betrayed by George Bush are getting tired of the fear platitudes coming from the GOP.
In truth, there is not a great deal of difference in the two major political parties, and until vast numbers of Republicans begin to break ranks and look for something better, nothing will change.

"In truth, there is not a great deal of difference in the two major political parties, and until vast numbers of Republicans begin to break ranks and look for something better, nothing will change."

You are correct, there isn't a lot of difference. But if you think splitting up the right side of the electorate will change things for the better, I think you're terribly mistaken.
