Rahm Emanuel: Obama is Our Presumptive Nominee

One of the most influential (and thus far subdued) voices in the Democratic primary all but declared the contest over on Friday morning.

"At this point, Barack is the presumptive nominee," said Rep. Rahm Emanuel during the New Yorker's magazine conference. "Hillary can't win but something could happen that Barack could lose the nomination."

I would have preferred more direct statements, but decorum does have a place.

Good Opus is trying to move forward, Bad Opus wanted to title this "Rahm Emmanuel Calls Hillary 'Loser'" based on this quote:

"As much as her ending it will... [he stopped himself] ...how the loser ends it will determine the winner. How that story gets written will determine not only the winner's capacity to go on but also the person who didn't get the nomination."

The Elders are still trying to leave room for her to do the right thing, and to put the interests of the party and the nation first.
