I believe the Bush quotes came out before the Rice statement. I had been receiving settlement emails from users when Bush "recognized" Kosovo, but withheld settlement until Rice came out with her statement which was after Bush's in Africa. Can you provide an article stating that what Rice said wasn't accurate?

Hey Blair,

I think that is a pretty good idea. I'll pass it on. Anyway I've edited the tags to get some news items up. Just remember simple words, like russia, japan, nimitz can get very good results.

Infernal,

At this page http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/prim...
on the left hand side the pledges delegates are stated as well as the guesstimate of superdelegates. CNN also has pop vote let me check to see if it is taken from the AP.

Hey guys I'm leaning to using CNN for popular vote/delegate vote and primary questions. Unless a market specifically states that the market be settled by FOX or MSNBC.Thoughts?

TheDoctor asked a question in Hubdub on February 07, 2008 12:18:

How should primary/caucus 2008 election markets be answered (Politics)?

As many people have probably noticed many of the primary/caucus questions about the 2008 election are being settled via different major news outlets, such as CNN, MSNBC and NYT.

The problem with this is that these outlets all count delegates in different ways. It would be better if we just use one site and stick by its data.

For questions about who will win the most delegates on Super Tuesday I still have not settled them because all of the sites are disagreeing on who has what.

What does everyone think about this plan, and lets try to get a majority of which site to use.

Politics Chat Tonight!!

Hey everyone,

Seeing as today is Feb. 5, we've decided to have some chatting going on during the primaries. So tonight as the results start coming in I'm going to open up a Skype live chat under the name Hubdub 08, so we can discuss our political views. Also my MSN is under rkrcas@optonline.net so if you want to add me and chat please do so! Later in the evening we might move the venue to CNN's chat rooms. If you can't get in or need help please email me or IM over MSN.

Hope all goes well,
Ryan

Hi Infernal, for all questions which don't state "popular vote," the settlement will be based on delegates. For those which specifically state "popular vote" they will be settled by popular vote. Their are only a few popular vote questions out their at the moment. And in the end the delegates are what count at the convention.
