30. I thought Obama did use the May 20 date as the one where he would pass the threshold
of pledged delegates.


He has also said that pledged delegates, not the SD, represent the popular vote and he doubted the SDs would take the nomination from the person who won the pledged delegates.


As for sounding like something he would do, as an Obama supporter I would ask you to look at the way John Edwards' endorsement was rolled out after WV. Read Spin Cycle.

It was a masterful political stroke.

Obama has been moving to change the story. The anger may very well still be there, but last week was the first week of the GE, whether or not Clinton remains in the primary.
