What is the more likely Democratic Presidential Ticket going into November?
Settled as Obama - Other
http://www.barackobama.com/index.php
Background:>
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama had a more civil exchange during the debate of January 31. During the course of the debate a question was raised whether either candidate would consider a Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton ticket. This wager expands the race from a winner-take-all nomination to a unity nomination, but also asks which candidate would be President and which Vice-President. (If Clinton and Obama would run on a joint ticket, this news will come during the Democratic National Convention). The Democratic National Convention takes place August 25-28. August 24 will be the closing date for this wager.

Can you close this one out in any logical way? Or does it remain open until an announcement?
Thanks,

I agree with you. But Clinton is scheduled to speak to her supporters on Saturday, June 7. If she leaves the door open for the vice-presidency during that speech this Market should not be settled until Obama's Veep Selection Committee announces their short list, or the nominee himself announces his running mate. In the best of world's logic would dictate that this market should be settling soon. But, at least 4 of the Washington Post's print articles (commentaries plus articles) today are on Clinton's strategy to get a VP spot. I think she would settle for a leading position on his campaign team facing down John McCain. But having her on his team might still rally moderate Republicans against him. So the drama continues until somebody blinks.
