And thusly, another Caption Challenge reaches its inevitable conclusion...


Submitted by caspernkmc, this week's clear winner with a healthy 36%.

Thanks to everyone who paid homage to the Dodd Head. Stay tuned for this week's Challenge.

You obeyed the Dodd Head and posted your captions. Now you must obey the Dodd Head and vote for your favorite caption. You have until Monday:

• Matthews: "Ok, Chris Dodd -- let's talk about chicks. I mean, jeez, chicks. Am I right?"
  
  
• McGovern endorses Clinton; ghost of Ed Muskie sticks with Obama.
  
  
• No Child -- or grammatical error -- Left Behind...
  
  
• Edwards joins McCain on the Straight Talk Express to public financing.
  
  
• ANOTHER Republican for Clinton...

• Dodd: "It's clearly better than being mistaken for Bea Arthur."
  
  
• Democrats: "We've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in our heart. Where? Down in our heart to stay!"
  
  
• Mike Gravel really IS just like us!
  
  
• Rudy Giuliani and Yogi Berra star in House Party V!
  
  
• Kucinich: "Hi. I'm short."
  
  
• Washington: "I cannot tell a lie, Frosty -- we're lobbyists now."

Now we know what's been slowing down Chris Dodd -- his body! Now that he's just a head, we think his campaign will be much more streamlined:

Obey the Dodd Head! Leave your captions in the comments section of this post, and feel free to enter as many times as you like.

• Obama, McCain, Vampires struggle for dominance.



• Chris Dodd defends infamous child-murder (or something) website on The Factor.



• New York Post confuses definition of "royalty" with that of "donation."



• Clinton, Obama, Edwards take the lead in Iowa poll.



• What exactly does a "conversation" with Mike Gavel entail?

With the Emmy nominations now in, we got to thinking -- don't the candidates deserve nominations, too? So, we got ourselves a red carpet (actually, it's more of an accent rug), and did some nominating of our own. Here's a breakdown of our nominees for the Candidate Emmy Awards, or Candies...

Best Actor

Close to $2 million in debt and still free-falling in the polls, John McCain gets a nod for "The Biggest Loser." He squares off against Barack Obama of "30 (Ba)Rock" and Sam Brownback for his portrayal of "The God Whisperer." Surprise nomination: New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, for "Extreme Makeover: Political Party Edition."


Best Actress

The nominees are Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Hillary Clinton. Notably missing: Elizabeth Edwards for her star turn in "Desperate Housewives."


Best Comedy
The nominees are Chris Dodd's eyebrows, the entire Mike Gravel campaign, and Dennis Kucinich's recent bout with food-poisoning. (He's a vegan. That's hilarious.)


Outstanding Mini-Series

Garnering its first nomination is "According to Mitt," the eleven-part special in which Mitt Romney clarified everything from what he meant when he called himself a hunter to why his staffers like to impersonate cops. His stiffest competition comes from "CSI: Giuliani," a gritty, real-life investigation into the illicit goings-on in various Rudy Giuliani campaign offices.

Of course, in a year that saw the finales of both "The Gilmore Girls" and Jim Gilmore, the 2007 Candies are not without their fair share of snubs. John Edwards (Best Supporting Actor, 2004) received only one nomination, in the category of Outstanding Hair and Makeup. Conspicuously absent from the list: Duncan Hunter, Mike Huckabee, Bill Richardson, Tommy Thompson, and Tom Tancredo. Don't look for them to be nominated for anything any time soon.

Did we miss anyone who deserves a Candie this year? Post your own nominations!
