@all HD'S...can anybody tell me if i have the right formula to figure my networth?

if i add my settled predictions for 365 days + my cashed in predictions for 365 days + $20 for every day i've logged in + the $1,000 i started with + $300 for friends who signed up + the cash i have bet (open predictions) just the bet not the cashin value....would that not be close to what my net worth would be?

Very interesting question...although he was an extremely powerful Senator, he was also identified so strongly with racial issues and other super-conservative positions . . . W could attend with no problems, but there's only 3 others available and Bill and Jimmy probably won't be there . . . will 41?

What about McCain . . . or Obama? I doubt if Obama would, but McCain is the Republican nominee and Helms was an important member of the party...and McCain needs to make sure he holds onto North Carolina. Skipping out on the funeral might hurt him with voters there.

"Racial issues" are only "super-conservative positions?"

B Bear - that's why I wrote this one. To be honest, I don't have a clue. W can't as he's at the G8, I'm with you on Carter and Clinton, so that leaves 41. I'm in Raleigh where the funeral will be held and have heard no word on this.

Hi,

So that settlement may be smooth the market has been edited with this: "To count as attending, they must be seated in the church during the funeral service."

If any user predicted on the market prior to the clarification, and believes the clarification changes the market, please contact me so that I may void your predictions.

Regards,

Ryan
