Without Saying

I just saw the graphic from MSNBC, and it startled me — not that Clinton is holding onto a lead (a lead that she may or may not have*) — but that the democratic nomination is (as of right now) a race between a woman and a black man. On the other side, the republicans… white as the underside of the mattress, and old.
* I wish that the networks held back showing vote tallies until the end, i.e., 100% reporting, or until they made a call in one direction or another. All of this talk of “holding onto a lead” is hogwash. This is an election, every vote counts the same, not a football game, where you can score early and grind out the clock late.

If we could only stop watching those tallies in progress, I think they would stop showing.
