I think the bigger potential rift is among our friends in the left. Its like they just hit the lottery (when it comes to the actions of the last 8 years of Bush) but they dont know how to invest it wisely. They are like my teenagers with a giftcard at the mall - all they'll end up buying is shit that will clutter my house and ultimately piss me off when i have to clean it up later.

I think this is extremely likely, but I wouldn't call it a rift.  I'd call it a wasted opportunity.  The Democrats will have control of congress and the white house, but will they actually do anything with it that has lasting effect?  My bet is no.  I certainly haven't heard much exciting talk about progre ssive projects.
