Linguistic Tangent

On an odd note, I noticed, both in speech and writing, that election coverage and commentary, whether from Jon Stewart or Hillary Clinton, insisted on using "an historic".

Has the country gone British English on me, and not informed me? "History" and "historic" have a clear /h/ sound, where I'm from - and hence we use "a historic".
