  65. Sen. Bill Brady and supporter…upon learning that Rich Miller neglected to announce a winner from his running mate’s caption contest. “I mean, if you’re going to have a contest, there should be a winner. And, frankly, I had some gems in there. But, seriously, it’s like if Gov. Tax it All and I debated for months and months and there was never an election. Although that is intriguing because then I wouldn’t have to announce my budget plan…ever. But, no, it’s not right. And who knows how Kwame feels. I mean, I never met the man, but I heard he serves in the Senate. Whatever. Rich Miller…who is this guy?”
