On April 8th of 1992 a full two months before he would secure enough delegates to claim the nomination Bill's staff was calling him the presumptive nominee:

[Apr 8, 1992] Clinton's showing yesterday convinced many Democrats that, even with the depth of concern about his character and his ability to win in November within his own party, his nomination is now all but assured. "Bill Clinton is the presumptive nominee," declared Mark Mellman

As to the states that are being "ignored"... these are the states that didn't even matter in 1992:
April 28: Pennsylvania
May 5: DC, Indiana, North Carolina
May 12: Nebraska, West Virginia
May 19: Oregon, Washington [primary]
May 26: Arkansas, Idaho [primary], Kentucky
June 2: Alabama, California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio
June 9: North Dakota

"In the primary you should vote with your heart, but in the general, you should vote with your head" Bill Clinton

So WJC held a party and put a crown on (none / 0)

his own head?

I mean, "presumptive" has been thrown around for months now. But you're talking about BO actually telling everyone that he's the man (and no, he isn't!).
