Which judges do I vote for again?
Comment by Anon Tuesday, Nov 2, 10 @ 3:09 pm
Alexi makes sure no cameras are watching his ballot as he casts his vote for Bill “Two Fingers” Brady.

“I hope that jerk in the shark suit didn’t follow me here. Geeze, I can’t stand that guy. Who is he anyway? Maybe I’ll have Kennedy track him down. OK, time to vote. First, there’s me. Check! Kirk, you’re a goner. Then, hmmm. Quinn? Whitney? Can’t do Cohen. Oh, man, there’s shark suit guy. I barely knew Jaws. I can’t even remember what we did together in Florida. Of course… Well, best not to think about that now. Back to voting. Quinn, I guess. Maybe I should just undervote. No, Quinn.”

Wow, this ballot let’s me vote for myself twice! I’m not on camera, am I?

Will anyone notice if I vote for me twice?
Oh wait, I think I’m SUPPOSED to.

I didn’t do it. Nobody saw me do it. You can’t prove anything.

In the spirit of compromise, Alexi splits his vote, giving six weeks to the pathological liar and six years to the mob banker.

The Alexi Giannoulias campaign protested The Capitol Fax’s afternoon caption contest today.
“This picture isn’t fair,” said a campaign spokesman. “Alexi isn’t a mob banker. Alexi is not even a banker, and never has been.”

Comment by Election Fun Tuesday, Nov 2, 10 @ 3:15 pm
Caption: “oops voted for Kirk for the unexpired term. Oh well.”
I actually voted bipartisan, with the pathological liar getting six weeks and the mob banker getting six years. I thought it’d be fun to split them. Am I the only one?!?
Comment by Anon 3:12 saw me vote! Tuesday, Nov 2, 10 @ 3:16 pm

Exaggerate this, Kirk!
On this side of the wall, I’m a financial genius. Yet on this side, I’m a failed mob banker.
(snickers) What’s next, a YELLOW party?

What’s going on here? I thought Jaws meant the fix was in when he said my name would be on the ballot twice. This ain’t right.

Didn’t I see you at the other precinct too
Comment by one day at a time Tuesday, Nov 2, 10 @ 4:51 pm
I hope no one notices me going from booth to booth, crossing out Kirk’s name saying he decided to drop out. If any voter questions me, I tell them Jaws has Kirk with him, if they want to verify by phone.
