Yesterday, in another major Republican primary upset, Deb Fischer won the Senate contest and will face Democrat Bob Kerrey in the Nebraska general election in November. Fischer was in third place in polling conducted throughout the primary campaign, but was endorsed by Sarah Palin and Herman Cain recently, which seems to have caused an upsurge in her support.

The other day, I wrote that Obama may have lost the election last week, partly due to his latest political miscalculation, the gay marriage issue.

Yes it is caption Friday on Right Pundits, a weekly contest now revived by popular demand after a four year vacation. Caption this photo of Keith Judd and be the lucky winner to be declared by our Right Pundits editorial committee. And no Andy this isn’t something new for you to do “just for fun” like the last ten fun things. I’ll declare the winners myself, taking the heat from our commenter community. The buck stops here.

The photo this week is of the honorable Keith Judd, otherwise known as Federal Inmate No. 11593-051. The felon received 41% of the vote in the West Virginia Democrat primary, proving that Democrats can succeed when given a governmental handout. Barack Obama? He got the other 59%. So caption this photo. Winners will be declared sometime on Monday, or soon after if we remember to do it.
