YOU THE READERS GET TO VOTE AND DECIDE THE OVERALL WINNER!
This photograph of George Bush with Karl Rove's top aide Susan Ralston - who has just been forced to resign over the Abramoff scandal - obviously inspired HuffPosters. Some of the entries show intricate appreciation of the machinations of the Bush-Rove White House. Other entries imagine a more articulate President than we are accustomed to hearing. And some imply a President with a great interest in "congress"...
The 20 finalists are listed here in purely chronological order. Numbered from 01 to 20. There is no implicit or explicit import to the sequence in which they appear.
Under each submission is the name of the person who submitted it.
It's simple. Look at all the entries - and then cast your vote!
Just post your vote as a comment. Simply vote for the Entry number you think the best. Please vote just once and for one entry only.
The poll is open till midnight (Pacific Time) on Monday night (October 16th)

(This time the vote count will be supervised by a Mr. Ken Blackwell from Ohio.)
