this is the last straw for me with hubdub, if it ain't settled the way it's supposed to be, i'm out and lots of others too
thanks for your approval. This must be the only place where you have a little power. Seen too many like you-
it's suspended cause "destry" feels a little power so he has to go and flag legitimate questions. That's what happens when someone gets a little power and they don't deserve it in the first place.
as long as it comes after 6/5 i don't really care, by the was Ed Kennedy lost vs Carter hands down and didn't give his concession speech till convention, lol
so take that into account, although i'm sure Clinton will have her speech of concession sooner

@ jake- hope this clears it up for you, there is obviously no interpretation needed. question is stated clearly and if Clinton is still in the presidential race well this question is settled as a NO

the question states "concede, suspend or quit her bid for PRESIDENT" does not say concede that obama has delegates. READ THE QUESTION. she will not suspend or concede her race for president!

Hillary Clinton is at least prepared at the end of Tuesday evening’s last two Democratic primary contests to cede that Barack Obama has enough delegates to stake claim to the nomination, although she appears unprepared to complete back out of the race just yet. source: foxnews.com
the point is she isn't backing out/conceding her bid for president just yet, she's only cedeing the obama has enough delegates

this is unbelievable!! Diana, how can you say this market "infers" something when it doesn't even say "large commercial planes". All the question ask for is a plane crash WITH NO SURVIVORS. that has happened and this question needs to be settled.
where in the question does it say it has to be a LARGE COMMERCIAL PLANE?? Isn't that what the "other" option is, that it's something else then an airbus or boeing??
the voids were NOT all correct. I had alot of money on this question prior to 05-05-08 and it was all voided. that is BS!!
Lucid: oil is dropping like a rock. Hopefully we can get to $100 a barrel one of these days so that I don't have to pay so much for gas.

Everyone put your money on yes, i guess.
Disclaimer: It will give me a chance to put more money on NO

LOL, you're making a killing? it sure doesn't reflect in your profile. Keep trying, someday you might make enough to be in the top 100
Hubdub staff are intelligent enough to know that Spitzer is resigning on March 17th. To MORK: stop your B#$#$chin and look at the market.
Here is Hubdub's take: "" First the reasoning for keeping an active market: "The Governor has not stated he will resign on March 12th. He has said that his resignation will be effective next Monday. This means that no resignation has occurred on the 12th. I know some may not like this decision (looking at the odds), but the market does not state a announcement of resignation but "resign." ""

yo mork...
when you get to my level in H$ then you can talk to me directly, otherwise don't bother addressing me as you're not in my league

it's the right choice. He is resigning March 17th. read his resignation letter.

He is the Governor until the 17th. What's so hard to understand about that, he is in power until the 17th of March.
well the point is Spitzer is resigning March 17th and Hubdub staff want to make sure that he actually resigns on the 17th and doesn't stay past that date as he indicated in his resignation letter that he is "resigning effective March 17, 2008."
Go right ahead, it's obvious as in Spitzer's resignation letter that he's resigning the 17th of March.
If he actually would've resigned effective today it wouldn't be a story, however he will resign March 17th. READ HIS LETTER OF RESIGNATION!!!

effective date is everything. That's when you resign, give up your job. Spitzer will still be Governor until he resigns on March 17 from his position. READ HIS RESIGNATION LETTER. http://www.ny.gov/governor/press/resignation.pdf
Spitzer states "I am resigning my position on March 17, 2008."

ironman288 read post #44 and you will see the definition for resign and it should clearly be settled as NO.
Also when you quit your job and give 2 weeks notice, on your next application what dates do you put as the dates you worked with the company? Obviously your first and last day at the company.. (that was simple)

please refer to comment #44 and you will see that your position is a false one, it was already proven. And also read Spitzer's resignation letter and he himself writes " resigning my position as Governor- March 17, 2008" THANK YOU GOVERNOR FOR THE PROOF!

mork-- Headlines aren't the story -- as many/most folks know. If they were, Thomas Dewey would have been the 34th President of the United States -- "Dewey Defeats Truman", and Elvis would still be alive ;-)
Spitzer's resignation letter clearly states he is resigning on March 17. READ IT!!! http://www.ny.gov/governor/press/resignation.pdf

Mork I don't know what that has to do with anything but I guess that's where the (hick-up) mistake came with you?
taken from: dan_the_omniscient
an opinion from someone who has, and who has had, no money in this market:
http://www.tfd.com/resign
"v.tr.
2. To give up (a position, for example), especially by formal notification.
3. To relinquish (a privilege, right, or claim).
v.intr.
To give up one's job or office; quit, especially by formal notification"
seeing that he has yet to give up the office, he has not fulfilled both parts of the definition of resigning.
words mean things, and thats where the dictionary comes in. perhaps someone can find a dictionary that defines "resign" as just providing notification of intent? until then, looks like this one was settled correctly.

First sentece of http://www.foxnews.com : Disgraced New York governor ends three-day drama with resignation, EFFECTIVE Monday, March 17.
resignation is effective March 17, <---- straight from a major mainstream news source. Sounds like it should be settled now.
hope you don't have all your money on YES as you will lose it, that's all I have to say. Look at my net worth and you might also see me on the leaderboard. Put more money on YES so i can get a better percentage on the NO
mozrules-- put your money where your mouth is. You talk a big game now put your few H$ on it so i can get a better percentage the other way.
when he hands power over that is when he resigns, like i stated above: he could just as well choose not to resign on the 17th afterall (and face impeachment regardless), the fact is, he only announced resigning, he hasn't physically resigned yet, he's still getting a paycheck till its official.
He isn' resigned right now, he could just as well choose not to resign on the 17th afterall (and face impeachment regardless), the fact is, he only announced resigning, he hasn't physically resigned yet, he's still getting a paycheck till its official.
well then do the logic! he can't resign but NOT resign until March 17th. The announced resignation is March 17th. I feel your frusteration as you must have all your money on yes. Cash in and switch before it's too late. lol. Spitzer is governor today, tommorrow and until March 17th. That's logic
akbeast-- you're right on! Too many ppl are twisting this story. He will resign March 17 as that's when the new governor will take office
question doesnt say when he will announce. it states when he will resign and that is March 17th. It's very clear and you're twisting it to try and not lose your H$. You can try but i'm sure hubdub staff can see past the smoke that you're trying to blow at them.
mozrules- you'll understand when this question gets settled, i just hope you didn't put too much of your 18K on this question
It's all over the news READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE NOT JUST THE GLAME HEADLINE. he announced that he will resign March 17th. He is still governor till then. Believe it
you can't have it both ways. resign but not resign till monday? lol come on he is in power till monday meaning settle this as a NO and lets move on
i'm not his lawyer, i don't know why he chose today, maybe impeachment who knows, but it is effective march 17th. you can't dispute that
Exactly my point, the question asks when will he resign, and he will resign from his duties on the 17th! Too many of you are twisting it just because you're afraid of losing your money
when you resign you relinquish the position which he has not and so therefore monday will be his resignation
As reported by fox news:
Disgraced New York governor ends three-day drama with resignation, effective Monday, March 17.

Lets put this in 1st grade context. Will Spitzer be the governor tommorrow? YES He will be governor till he gives up power on Monday, therefore he's resignation and not just announcement is Monday
he will officially give up power on Monday. He is still the Governor!! The new Governor will start on Monday!! how simple can this get!!
all the quitters can go home we don't want them on HUBDUB
if you can't take the truth don't predict.
Spitzer will still be Governor after today. The Larry Craig point is a great point. He said he would resign and didn't. Announcing intent is not the same as actually resigning. On 3/13/08 he will still be Governor, hence no resignation has taken place

he did NOT officially sign off on the paper work to resign, he still has control until he officially gives power to the next governor
this question will be VOIDED. How can you prove that he's a "buzz killer"? Learn what questions can be proved before you post another one.
The answer is NO because they got 12 inches of snow. The question asks if they will get 10 inches! It does NOT state at least 10 inches so therefore the answer is NO!!!
i guess cause the knicks beat them by almost 30 pts last game and won the last 3-4 at MSG. Knicks are playing at home
looks like its a positive day, eh. I'm making lots of money today cashing in, i'll be top 20 before day is over ;)
maybe your man Obama has that SOLID EXPERIENCE that you're talking about or perhaps even Hillary who has 12 SOLID years of EXPERIENCE.
you ppl need to lighten up and get a life. The fatalities in Iraq are unfortunate however they are news and the purpose of Hubdub is to predict future news. If you can't handle the truth then go watch some cartoons or star war movies.
this website has the total # of US military casualties by month in Iraq:
