What color pantsuit will Hillary Clinton wear to the Apr 16 PA democratic debate?

Settled as She doesn't wear a pantsuit

As per the background, which in the future should be in the settlement details, the market settles as "She doesn't wear a panhttp://www.hubdub.com/e/Market/What_color_pantsuit_will_Hillary_Clinton_wear_to_the_Apr_16_PA_democratic_debate_4352/AdminChangeStatus?action=settle#
Wed Apr 16 2008tsuit." Reason being the market specified that the pants and suit had to be the same color.

Background:

In homage to the excellent but unfortunately voided: http://www.hubdub.com/e/Market/What_colour_Tie_will_the_Chancellor_wear_at_the_2008_UK_Budget_speech__3923/view

and in addition to: http://www.hubdub.com/e/Market/What_color_tie_will_Barack_Obama_wear_to_the_Apr_16_PA_democratic_debate_4351/view

(For the sake of extreme clarity, this is the color of the SUIT and not any shirt she is wearing underneath. For this question, pantsuit is defined as a pair of pants with a matching jacket.)

maybe she will wear a pointy hat. I would like that.

dont forget the broom!

I was going to add another option like "she wears a sparkly halter top" but couldn't think of anything similarly ridiculous to put on the obama question :)

that would be gross, she is not exactly in her physical prime. I wonder if she has some sort of a love slave on staff in her campaign. That would be nice.

Is pink "red" or "different color" ?
posted 42 weeks ago
pink=pink, red=red, pink<does not equal>red

therefore, pink is a different color
(although you could knock me over with a feather if she wore a pink suit to the debate!!)

As long as we're talking shades, gray, orange, purple and green are all other as well. :)

I sincerely hope this is a straightforward question to settle and doesn't cause too much haggling! (um.. i mean .. discussion..)

perhaps future questions involving colors should list their options in RGB or CMYK codes rather than common names? ;-)

Maybe she'll take the "Xena warrior princess" look. (Bill will be in the audience with a Hercules outfit on)

She's going to fool you all. She is wearing YELLOW...How else do you make lemonade out of what is going on?

So it was grey, right?

I think the jacket was kind of greenish/gray, but the slacks were black, so ==>> NO PANTSUIT! (I'm surprised)

Nice try steph, read the background...
posted 38 weeks ago
So because the pants (that I never saw) didn't match the coat it's not a pantsuit? I guess I just don't know what a pantsuit is.

Also, I will never again vote on anything related to women's "fashion."
