2012 Final Obama/Romney Debate Caption Contest

Posted by Dan Savage on Mon, Oct 22, 2012 at 10:11 PM

My friend Chris suggests, "Clearly Rafalca is not the only Romney she rides." Can you top that, Slog?

UPDATE: We may already have a winner:

Apparently you can stick a round peg into a square hole.

Well done, Sperifera. But keep 'em coming, Slog, and we'll vote on the best caption in the morning.
