Christine Quinn's Epic Destruction

Was a great thing for NYC and a great thing for America.  Despite her affirmative-action identity politics cred, she was and is a nasty piece of work, a Bloomberg sycophant and no friend of the middle and lower classes.  Her historic beating in the primary is a huge blow to the status quo weasels and the police state jerkoffs who have been championed by Bloomberg and Giuliani for far too long.  De Blasio will not have an easy time as mayor, but if he can build a functional and functioning leftish coalition in such a high-profile job, that could help timid Dems and liberals and progressives out in the hinterland.
