Oct. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Condominium buyers can get more than granite countertops and penthouse views for $4.16 million in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. If Barack Obama isn't elected president, they can get out of the deal.
Call it the Obama contingency. Buyers at the building called +aRt will be released from their purchase contract ``no questions asked'' should the Democratic candidate lose to John McCain on Nov. 4, said Erik Ekstein, president of Ekstein Development.

Some would-be buyers visited the building, discussed financing, and then said they feared McCain, Ekstein said. Victory by the Republican will trigger the escape hatch for anyone who signs a sales agreement before then.
