He is the presumptive nominee. Get over it.

1. The presumption is based on having a majority, not a lead.

3. The Huckabee factor is down to ZERO.
It's done. She could get 85% of the pledged delegates remaining and still would come up short.

5. Is the Huckabee factor part of the DNC rules?

9. Oh and if we are referring to the DNC rules then...
FL and MI will not be seated. So there you have it. Back to the 86% or more to beat Obama.

Imprecision is a weakness.

8. He'll have the delegate lead clinched by this time next week
even with as little as 36% of WV. And he'll have the 2025 delegates by the week after that--unless Hillary gets 86% of WV, KY and OR. :headbang:rocknation

10. Sounds like the presumptive nominee is actually the premature nominee.

16. If you want to split hairs, all right then--he's the PRE-presumptive nominee!
Edited on Sun May-11-08 01:47 PM by rocknation
At least, he's more presumptive than Hillary is! :rofl:rocknation
