Without thinking about the merits of individual candidates, one might expect the race to evolve into a two-person contest between a more centrist, establishment type, and a more progressive, insurgent type. In past years, the centrist (Gore, Kerry, HRC) usually prevails, but this year may be different, just as in 2008 the dissatisfaction with eight years of GWB may have pushed some Democrats to the left. A lot of Democrats who used to be inclined to bipartisanship and compromise now feel that it's a suckers game to cooperate with Republicans who won't ever return the favor.
