Should Have Read This Before Writing My First Morning Post

HERE IS AN excellent article by Alexandra Harris (not a close relation of Kamala Harris, I believe) about her take on the election and why as a Black Woman the results didn't surprise her.  She does some of the lumping together of groups based on polls that I've criticized - show me a journalist who doesn't do that and I'll read them - but she isn't nearly as bad at it as most are.   And her perspective is one that is more likely to get at the truth than the one you'll get from the punditocracy.  

Websters should put an alternative definition of "pundit" as an idiot who gets paid a lot to talk out of their ass on TV and the radio.  Sort of what a "columnist" is for the most part, these days.
