I'm a finalist in this week's Las Vegas Sun caption contest

[Dan Druff]

The Las Vegas Sun has a political cartoon caption contest every few weeks.

The latest caption contest involves US Senate candidates Dean Heller (Republican) and Shelly Berkley (Democrat), who are locked in a tight race.



I saw this on Facebook about 2 weeks ago and decided to enter a caption.

To understand what I wrote, you need to be familiar with Glen Lerner, who is a shyster accident lawyer, infamous around Vegas for his wacky commercials and catchy jingle:



If anyone ever claims to live in Vegas and you don't believe them, simply ask "Who's Glen Lerner?", and if they don't know, they don't live here.

So my caption contest entry was:

"I guess we're going to find out in 10 seconds who Glen Lerner is voting for."

The Las Vegas Sun editorial staff picked the 5 best captions, and mine was chosen.

It is currently tied for first place with 47 votes:

I didn't rig any votes. I voted for myself, but no friends or family have voted for it. In fact, I only noticed just now that I made the finals. Voting continues until September 26th at 5pm PDT.

I believe they print the winning cartoon in the Las Vegas Sun and I get an autographed copy from the cartoonist.

Not a big deal, obviously, but thought it would be cool if I ended up winning.

No, I'm not asking for people to stack the votes for me. Only vote for mine if you really think it's best.

Why? You don't think the other four people are sending this to everyone one they know saying, "Please, please vote for me!"

You're the owner of an internet forum. Take advantage of it. Take any advantage you can get.

[PLOL]

Well, the guy in 2nd doesn't know the difference between "whose" and "who's", so I like your chances.

If the other 4 people want to cheat to win, let them.

To me it is only cool to win this if I do so honestly. Also, the other 4 people may not even be paying attention that they're finalists, just as I wasn't until tonight. They don't contact you about it.

Really?



Your son is never gonna make it if you teach him that nonsense.

You're a lock. The others are even dumber than yours.

Take it down!!

[LLL]

Voted.

Also one of the first times I went to Vegas he had billboards up everywhere. Seemed like a joke that I couldn't find a reason for. Like something out of a bad Mad TV skit.

[BCR]

Familiar with Lerner. I voted for yours because it was clearly the best imo. The wheels coming off was second imo, but generic.

[NaturalBornHustler]

Tried multiple votes but it is not counting the votes after first one. Bullshit.

In my defense, I was tied for first before I even noticed I was a finalist, and I think the 2nd place guy only got 8 votes from that point forward.

This was a clean victory, with perhaps some assists from the loving PFA community to make it a landslide.

The only real question here is were all voters required to provide ID?
