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.

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.

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.

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!
