It is becoming apparent that he is releasing the endorsements strategically, either to win news cycles, or just to keep up the point of a constant trickling in of support. What has been said on DU, and I happen to agree with, is that he will allow an amount of endorsements to come out in the next week that will leave him poised to clinch with Montana or South Dakota. Then on June 4, the majority of the rest of his support will come out en masse. I am thinking he will roll out at least 50 SD's that day, maybe more.
In any event, regardless of how MI/FL are seated, he will be without a doubt our presumptive nominee, even if the clinch number rises to 2208. His actual margin of victory among the SD's will be MUCH higher than the current 31, and his pledged delegate margin will be in the 150-160 range. Sure, Hillary can take this to the convention, but very few people will see the value in continuing the divisiveness for a candidate that is down by 250-300 delegates. Obama will continue on the GE trail as our presumptive nominee, and will be treated that way by the party, the media, and the majority of the people.
Edit- There, now you can read this long, rambling thought.
