Couldn't these pressures cause a rift in the Democratic party? Couldn't the DLC feel the need to split away from the harder left? I am curious if this could lead to a serious 3rd party candidate?

Annointing a more moderate front runner and trying to direct all the money his way would seem a more likely response. The Democrats don't look very organized at the moment. But it's early yet, and attention is all focused elsewhere. Who is paying attention but hard-core Democratic primary voters? and those are more left-wing than most.

or a Draft Al movement to 'save' the party.

You must be joking. If anybody in the DLC wanted him, he would be running right now. The Democratic Party never gives losing candidates a second chance, not even if they had way more excuse for losing than Al Gore did.
