Something To Remember For the Whole "It's Usually Not Wrapped Up Until June" Argument
when making the case that Clinton should continue to run.

Back in 1992 when her husband wrapped up the nomination in June, the primary season started in mid-February. This year it started practically in late December.

So by virtue of the whole calendar having been moved up a month, June of 15 years ago is May in 2008.

Therefore the argument of waiting until June is ancient and outdated in its reasoning. If this were 1992 it would be practically July in the primary calendar.

Just food for thought.

2. Every election year is leap year.
This one has had more full moons, however.

4. 1800,1900 & 2100 are not leap years.
Just being picky. :)

6. OK, I'll give you 1800 and 1900.
But by 2100 superdelegates will be making all the decisions.
