1. Speaking of which - why is he still the "presumptive" nominee and not just
"the nominee"?

4. Once you get the numbers you become presumptive, once they vote in the convention in august, you
become the nominee.

6. When someone is a victim of a crime
they are called the crime victim. Except when its rape- then they are called the "alleged" victim.

Obama has the delegates and he has earned the right to be called the nominee and treated like the nominee.

11. Easy :), Even McCain is called the presumptive nominee. It's the correct term, nothing
wrong with that.

9. Yes, and the uneducated will

12. Guys...It's always been the presumptive nominee once you clinch the numbers until the convention,
it's not derogatory or anything. McCain is called the republican presumptive nominee.

8. Nobody here gets the benefit of the doubt.
As soon as you express an opinion you become a hater, a racist, a misogynist, a disenfranchiser, you name it. All must be Labelled and Punished.

5. I'm feeling a little consumptive today -- think I'll rip off an aria.
Someone notify Hillary that the fat lady is singing.
