42. Wrong. A "presumptive" nominee is a candidate who has "clinched" the nomination
Edited on Wed Jun-04-08 12:59 AM by Seabiscuit
before the Convention with the magic number of pledged delegates alone. Neither Democratic candidate has done that.

When a candidate clinches the nomination with pledged delegates before the Convention, there is no need for Super Delegates to play any role at all at any time.

With that, I'm going to bed.

This forum has gone straight to hell. I may just resign from the madness that DU has become first thing in the morning.
