While I do not know if he has any interest in politics, I hear ED McMahon is looking for a new place to live. I always liked him and he was like the VP on the original Tonight Show.

Do the letters "ED" have to be pronounced like the name Ed? Or do they just have to occur together? Jack ReED (Sen-RI), for example, is generally considered to be on the short list, but wasn't listed in the background info.

Jack Reed would count. It just has to have the letters next to each other.

It says it will be resolved "As reported by a major mainstream news source. "
Will a newstream source actually report that the letters ED are in the name?
Or must hubdub identify this, and notice it. :)

as long as the letters E+D, in that order, in the same word, i.e. jED clampett = Yes, janE Doe = No.... then this market will be self evident.
