Hopefully the No one Drops Out option will be decided at the Convention at the latest.

Hhmm...that's an interesting point, owl1. I would think that dropping out would technically mean dropping out before the last primary/caucus. Anything after that, particularly if it occurs at the convention would seem to be conceding defeat rather than dropping out. John Kerry didn't drop out of the presidential race, he conceded the election. Is there a difference between dropping out and conceding in a primary election? If so, where is the line drawn? The settlement on this one could get sticky if the contest goes to the convention as many are predicting.

If someone drops out, after the last primary/caucus, but before the convention is convened, how would that be treated? If they release their delegates prior to the convention, is that dropping out?

Taking away the green tally, this wild double-line graph looks like the shape of a trophy! (on its side). Maybe the most interesting visual representation from our various votings so far, and just as wild and "roller coastered" as what it's portraying..

look at the history graph, and the patterns details are even more amazing.
or is that a function of my eyeglasses?

is there a way to capture the entire history to examine the patterns of this prediction market for further analysis?

Nice visual on the graph sideways.
Looks like 2 human profiles facing each other.
I am of the impression one the goals is to try and make distinctive compelling picto-graphs.
This one here is a keeper.
Cultural rorschach perhaps.
