New York Times: will names "Obama" or "McCain" appear in front page headlines, Sun. 6/15?
A featured story regarding McCain's POW experience in Vietnam was the McCain reference. No Obama reference found. I'd recommend the McCain article though very insightful.
Background:
Initial odds are based on the assumption that Obama is currently more "in the news", McCain a bit less so, and allowing for the possibility that both names may appear in headlines. Note that "Obama" and "McCain" must reference the candidates only, not their wives or any other persons with same last name.
Settlement details:
As detailed in the background above, appearing in the New York Times national print edition. Suspension date is set a bit early because newspapers are generally printed in advance of issue date. Note that in order to settle as "Both Obama and McCain", both names may appear either in separate front page headlines or within the same headline.
