Why, glad you asked, Anand! The “breakthrough” — as 2010 should have alerted you — is not really hiding at all. It’s called the Tea Party, and it is a grass roots movement that appeals to ideas, rather than parties, and its goal is to take back America from the entrenched political class.
Had you not been so quick to believe your own narratives of what the TEA Party is, and who it counts among its numbers, you might have seen this — just as you might better understand the real appeal of people like Sarah Palin (who, as you yourself point out, really should appeal to many who call themselves liberal, were they truly liberal and not merely thuggish, would-be authoritarians hiding behind the label of “progressive”)
Follow the link and RTWT,
Mr Goldstein calls himself a classic liberal, rather than Republican or conservative. It's closer to libertarian than either of the others ... that's why I like to read him. You should, too.

Interesting read, and a minor point about the Tea Party... I have attended a few meetings here in NOVA, and I see as many blacks, Asians and Hispanics as I do Caucasians, and I've talked to a number of 'democrats' who are tired of the BS too...
