Face it, Democrats: Barack Obama's got an overwhelming lead in all relevant metrics...

[aein]

He is the presumptive nominee. Get over it.

[rug]

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

He doesn't. Get over it.

[yourguide]

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.

[rug]

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

[yourguide]

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.

[rug]

13. And there you have a lead but not a presumption.

Imprecision is a weakness.

[yourguide]

15. OK, you keep hanging on.

Lets check back in after WV. Lets talk if she gets to 85% mmmmmmk?

[rug]

18. I'll be here, mmmmmmk?

4. The lead will clearly turn into a majority soon.

[rug]

6. Fine. Post it then.

[cliffordu]

7. Sorry, Rug. Really.

[rug]

11. Thank you, cliff.

[rocktivity]

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.

[rocktivity]

12. He'll blossom on May 20

and ripen fully when the DNC rules on the MI/FL delegate seating.

:headbang:

14. Good, until then stow the blather about a presumptive nominee.

[rocktivity]

16. If you want to split hairs, all right then--he's the PRE-presumptive nominee!

At least, he's more presumptive than Hillary is!

:rofl:

17. I agree if you change the suffix.

[nomorewhopper]

2. he leads in the most important metric of them all: he WON

she lost

yes we did!!!

[rock]

19. That is why it's so hard to find any posts

about Hillary on DU. (Yeah, as if you didn't know: sarcasm)
