Will disgruntled delegates wear mittens with thumbs pointed down @ Denver convention?

Settled as No

National Conventioneers in the US have a proud history of outlandish, extreme and loud outfits to demonstrate their ferevent support and zeal for their candidates. It occurs to me that a simple mitten with a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down gesture when the issue of Michigan comes up would be a very plausible event.

Here is a link that described how committed HRC supporters were vis-a-vis the Michigan and Florida issues, but there are many more...http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24880124/

This market evolves around an event therefore the suspend time can be more fluid. I am moving suspend date from August 1st to August 18th which is 7 days prior to event, and the longest we like markets to be suspended if possible.


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