McCain wraps it up

Arizona Sen. John McCain became the presumptive Republican nominee for president on Tuesday, cinching the nomination with delegates to spare. All that' s left is the formality of the GOP convention beginning Sept. 1 in Minnesota.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who has been hanging on for weeks, is expected to concede this week.
With the victory, McCain now can begin to tap into the Republican National Committee database of research and donors and the GOP can begin its own campaign against Democrats. It also will free up President Bush to begin campaigning on behalf of McCain. The two are scheduled to meet on Wednesday at the White House.
And, while there has been much attention paid to Republicans switching to support Obama -- the so-called Obamicans -- Fox analyst Karl Rove said watch out for Democrats switching to the GOP, a group he called McCainocrats.
