During MSNBC’s election night coverage, Chris Matthews said talking about what percentage of the white vote Michelle Nunn made him feel like he was analyzing a race in South Africa.

I hate talking ethnically [about] all this. But it’s fascinating to watch what happened with Michelle Nunn, as Steve [Kornacki], who is the best in the business right now, doing this. It’s interesting because she has 27% of the white vote. I hate talking — I feel like we’re in South Africa! 27% of the white vote, yet everybody says she needs 30. It’s already written down what your bar is for each community. I mean, it’s pretty awful.
