I agree with you on every count. What is the one thing that Obama could do to disenfranchise Hillary voters even more? Declare victory while she denies it. I can understand that he wants to move onto the regular election and he sees this as a way of discrediting Hillary so that he may focus his full attention on McCain, but if he does decide to declare victory, it's going to prove to be a poor move. If Hillary makes the decision to continue with her campaign all the way to the convention, I could see Obama declaring a week or two prior to the convention, just so that the unpleged delagates won't have to feel guilty about supporting him.
