This week’s Cartoon Caption Contest
By Rob Tornoe
Tags: Barack Obama, Pennsylvania, John Kerry, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, caption contest, Obama bitter, elitist
Barack Obama is being labeled as an elitist by Hillary Clinton over comments he made at a private fund-raiser in San Francisco. Speaking of small-town Pennsylvanians, Obama said, “it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
So what could he possibly be saying in this cartoon?
Come up with a pointed caption for this cartoon and email it to rob.tornoe@politicker.com. Keep it clean (this is a family website) and keep it brief (brevity is the soul of wit). When you email, include your name and the name of the city and state where you live. Your deadline is noon Friday.
We'll post the winner's name and caption here Saturday morning, along with several runner-ups. If you send us your name and address, we'll mail the winning writer a color print of the cartoon with the caption, signed by Rob Tornoe. Please allow at least 4 weeks for delivery.
If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to email me at rob.tornoe@politicker.com.
Good luck, and have fun!

Quote of the Day
August 8, 2008
"We think this will help end the myth about Maine being the highest taxed state in the country. We didn't think it was true."
-- David Farmer, spokesman for Democratic Gov. John Baldacci, on new data from the Tax Foundation that shows that Maine ranks 15th, rather than among the top states, in terms of tax burden on residents.

Under Sniper Fire
"Hmmm, I thought secret service was suppose to protect me from sniper fire". Annie Oakley keeps firing elitist bullets at me. She is pistol packing. I'll drink to that.
