Sure. The Republicans and Dems could fragment if the focus groups weren't so small. In the U.S., you have alot of specialization. People with 1 plan for one or two things. They can't hope to run a government that way, so they need to form coalitions and hopefully form a common policy.

Right now you are starting to see libertarians break away due to the increasing big government positions of the G.O.P. - Much smaller and less powerful, but still possibly effective in the future. The Liberal Dems in the UK is a similar example of a third party that (after it's huge fall from major UK politics due to a Labour sweep) was a small party that has gradually grown into a nearly viable political entity again.
