Good Writing

Great stuff from favorite Glenn Greenwald over at Salon.com:

There are all sorts of reasons to view last night's events as an extremely positive development, including the fact that it was a truly crushing repudiation of the right-wing faction that has dominated the Republican Party for the last two decades. The GOP is very close to being nothing more than a broken regional party, confined almost entirely to the Deep South and a few small, scattered states in the Midwest, and entirely uncompetitive in huge swaths of the country. All of that merits, and will undoubtedly receive, lavish analytical attention (and celebration) over the next few days and weeks.
