Talk:Presumptive presidency of Barack Obama

The electoral college meets in their states to cast their ballots on December 15, 2008. The joint Congress counts the ballots on January 8, 2009.

Nothing special happens on Tuesday, November 11, 2008.

Merge suggestion
I would suggest moving this to the Transition article. --Levineps (talk) 18:39, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Merge to Presidential transition of Barack Obama -- Yellowdesk (talk) 21:54, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree. This is typically called the transition period, not the presumptive presidency.

No, this article was titled Presidency of Barack Obama until it was pointedly renamed.  Grsz  11   →Review!  22:40, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * There is no Obama presidency yet. Obama is merely president-designate. This period is called the "transition", managed by a "transition team", in which the "presidential transition" vets thousands of resumes and prepares the administration in waiting for the inauguration and confirmation of civil officials by the Senate. -- Yellowdesk (talk) 23:11, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Then perhaps we should delete this article. It doesn't make much sense.  Grsz  11   →Review!  23:35, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete what article? If you mean Presumptive presidency of Barack Obama, it redirects to Presidential transition of Barack Obama, and all of its contents, except the infobox were added to the transition article. -- Yellowdesk (talk) 01:07, 6 November 2008 (UTC)


 * The title of this article is fine as it stands now. Kingturtle (talk) 02:56, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
