    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[ <p>Here's how AP (<a href="http://www.correntewire.com/clinton_advisors_no_formal_suspension_speak_out_on_the_issues">remember them</a>?) describes <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/primary_rdp;_ylt=Aql_UwO74ga2DREcQ7z3Mkms0NUE">the math</a> and how it all added up:</p>
<blockquote><p>
On the final night of the primary season, Clinton won South Dakota on Tuesday while Obama took Montana — and a slew of party superdelegates who declared their support to help him clinch the nomination. He did it, <u>according to The Associated Press tally</u>, based on primary elections, state Democratic caucuses and support from superdelegates. It took 2,118 delegates to clinch the nomination at the convention, and Obama had 2,154 <u>by the AP count</u>.
</p>
</p></blockquote>
<p>So, apparently we're coronating the Democratic nominee on the basis of a source in our famously free press <a href="http://www.correntewire.com/clinton_advisors_no_formal_suspension_speak_out_on_the_issues">that ran a story on the same day that was wrong</a>, and designed to take Hillary down.</p>
<p>Not to quarrel with the idea that Obama has a majority of the pledged delegates -- though <a href="http://www.correntewire.com/stupid_majority_of_the_pledged_delegates_metric">pledges only turn into votes at the convention</a> -- but does anybody have a timeline of when and how Obama actually crossed over to the majority in AP's count?</p>
