Or because she was only a black woman running against both black and white guys?
1988 wasn't "historic" because Jesse Jackson was only a black guy running against white guys?
1972 wasn't "historic" because Shirley Chisholm was only a black woman running against white guys?
1872 wasn't "historic" because Victoria Woodhull was only a white woman running against white guys?
(If either Obama or Clinton fall out of the top and the primary isn't between an African American guy and a white woman... does it stop being "historic"?)
The novelization of the news does nobody any good.
