My Predictions

Will Senator Obama be sporting a flag lapel pin on his jacket in Minneapolis Tue night, June 3rd?

Settled as Yes

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/05/us/politics/04cnd-campaign.html?hp

Background:

Although some would consider it a trivial matter there has been 'controversy' this campaign season questioning Senator Obama's sense of patriotism that has resulted in on-again, off-again wearing of a flag lapel pin, it was even a debate question. Now Senator Obama has planned a rally for Tuesday evening in the city that will later host the GOP National Convention. Will he be wearing a flag pin when he is behind the podium speaking?


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

Obama is wearing a flag lapel pin.

I don't have a link. AP will, no doubt, have a photo up soon.

There will doubtless be lots of flags waving... but will there be a tiny one on his lapel?
