Settled as No
Question will settle for yes if EITHER Senator Obama or Senator McCain is seen in public, wearing a plastic wrist band of the type popularized by Lance Armstrong, the yellow Live Strong band. This yellow one was worn by then candidate John Kerry during the last election cycle and since then more versions have become popular including...
