destry: show details ... Google<b><center>Category Editor Notification</center></b>This market will settle once the results from the state are certified. If a lawsuit after it... has run its course ends up changing the leader this market could be resettled. But instead of tying up money forever, we are going to settle based on the election results and then would only resettle based on a court victory changing the outcome. <i>Also some settlement requests have come in trying to get a yes settlement based on the words "this year" in the question. This market is settling based on the election results that occurred in 2008 election to settle this market. So I will NOT be settling based on the "this year" clause.</i>
