Will Obama announce that he's joined a new church prior to the Convention?
Settled as No
Today on a Saturday afternoon the following occurred: Barack Obama has resigned as a member of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, his campaign says.
This marketplace is speculating whether candidate Barack Obama, whose membership in the Trinity United Church in Chicago has come under pointed scrutiny, will now announce his affiliation with any other church prior to the Democratic convention. To me this in interesting because Senator Obama has gone on record about his religious convictions but the understanding of what that means precisely by some of the electorate remains somewhat unfathomable.
Since this question is asking about a particular event occurring before the Convention, I am moving suspend date from August 1st til August 24th the day before the convention. This doesn't change outcome of market, just allows people to play the market more freely.
