  • "Oh, that .... it's called a "lobbyist key." You crank it and he sticks his hand out," by Thomas Harris, with 15 percent of the votes.
  • "Strange, he goes one way before the election, then another way after," by Patrick Foley, which got 12 percent of the votes.
  • "Whats with this one? Should we wind him up and see what direction he goes in this time?" by oakland999, with 6 percent of the votes.

Congratualtaions to all the finalists. We'll be back next week with the December contest.
