Sure, newspapers like to run a photo from the actual day an event took place. Yes, Bill was inarguably the biggest name to speak in Philadelphia last night (he used to be president!). And yes, Hillary Clinton wasn’t physically standing on the stage.

But none of these excuses are reason enough to put Bill Clinton as the representative snapshot of his wife’s historic victory, of the night the first woman is nominated for president by a major party.
