@manyctnj (Warning: Curling Reference!)
You're right, he's not the winner, but he certainly is winning. Only a fool would say otherwise. He has more delegates, while he cannot reach 2,024 on his own, he's certainly much closer to that number than Clinton. That my friend, is the definition of winning.
Think of it like curling (warning: curling alert): the game quite often does not go to the final end as the losing team will concede that they simply cannot make up the required points to best the winning side. Clinton at this moment is in the ninth end and is too far behind to beat Obama in the tenth. She doesn't have to concede, she can play that tenth end all she wants...but she simply isn't going to overtake Obama and right about now it's just an excercise in futility.
(unless the judges rule that Obama burned some rocks in the earlier ends and he loses points, then she can win...yeah, I know..that was a weak superdelegate metaphor...my bad)
cheers!
