My Predictions

Will John or Elizabeth Edwards perform any public speeches before the November Election?

Settled as yes - either Edwards gives a speech

http://news.yahoo.com/story//ap/20080917/ap_on_re_us/elizabeth_edwards

Background:

The school's announcement Thursday extends an exile for the former North Carolina senator that began last month after he admitted to an extramarital affair.

Edwards had been scheduled to speak at Hofstra on Tuesday. School spokesman Stuart Vincent says an agent for John Edwards did not say why the speech was canceled.

John Edwards hasn't spoken publicly since admitting to an affair about a month ago. While both John and Elizabeth Edwards still have speeches scheduled in September and October, they have been slowly canceling events.


Press conferences and media interviews do not count as a public speech. To avoid a headache annoucements of giving a speech won't settle the market. As seen in the back ground John cancelled his speech after he was scheduled to make it. This will suspend on November 1 and be settled after the election. If either gives a speech before then it can be settled.
