Hard call, but I think an occasional story related to politics may be ok if it is about some kind of major event that transcends politics-- just as a story about technology might occasionally appear in a magazine about politics if it is an important enough story.

I agree, but this story doesn't transcend politics. The candidate who was leading in the polls in Iowa won Iowa. This is his victory speech, and its content is typical political victory speech content. The only thing remotely interesting here is the color of the candidate's skin, which shows we still have a problem with racism.

"The only thing remotely interesting here is the color of the candidate's skin, which shows we still have a problem with racism."

The fact that a black presidential candidate won with a substantial margin in an almost entirely white state shows that "we still have a problem with racism"?
