What Happens When Political Parties Die?

Right now, there's plenty of speculation about whether the Republican Party is dying. Arlen Spector's defection is the latest talking point.

Rather than such speculation, I'd rather see a non-partisan analysis of the last time a major American political party ceased to exist, or changed to the point of requiring a new name. This has happened before, and will happen again. But will it be the Republicans any time soon?

I'm honestly not equipped for this task, but someone who is should seriously consider it.
