As an Obama supporter, I agree with your conclusion. It will end when Hillary pulls out. That said, how many delegates in total will Obama have by the 20th? He's added one more super today, Miller of NC. Will he add 5, 10, 50 more by the 20th? How many of Hillary's will switch by the 20th? How much pressure from her own supporters, Feinstein and others, will she get for "good reason" to continue what is increasingly appearing like a hopeless battle?

Just this morning a rules committee member, whose name I don't remember but he's a Hillary supporter, said she's not likely to get much sympathy from the rules committee on the 30th. These are the people who set the rules that Florida and Michigan broke and be they supporters of Hillary, Obama or still undeclared, they are not prepared to change the rules at this point.

It's over and Hillary appears to be the only one yet unaware of this simple fact. The date that it becomes official is a mere formality.
