Do I have influence, or what?

At first, I thought there was a direct correlation between candidates whom I had pictured as "healing" my digital recorder and those who won their primary contests Tuesday. Such as this guy…

… and this guy:

But then, I saw I had done the same thing with this guy, and he didn’t win…

… although I’m not sure whether that counts, since he had dropped out. Then, I figured out the winning formula…

It turns out that if I had posted your picture in the "Write your own caption" category, you won. Except for ol’ Zeb.

    South Carolina should be paying taxes in the State of Denial.
    I for one am going to write Oscar Lovelace in as Governor in November, the same for Stanton.
    Everyone knows the RNC will not let South Carolina fall into Democratic hands, after all, this is the state that ensured George Bush the nomination over John McCain.
    It was disgracceful to watch Sanford speak the name he would never speak in the Primary, Oscar Lovelace.
    You may be proud of your endorsements but if you knew the half of the truth about Ryburg, you would have never endorsed him.
    I guess I will cancel my subscription to the State paper. It isn’t worth reading except for Cindy Ross Scoppe and Aaron.

    Well, isn’t that enough — Cindi and Aaron?
    Where else can you read what they give you?
    You might say, “on-line,” but Cindi and Aaron have to eat, you know. Sure, online ad revenues are booming from year to year, but they’re still not sufficient alone to handle our two biggest expenses — salaries and newsprint. The only reason thestate.com can provide more SC news than other sources is because it has the input of 140 news and editorial professionals — all of whom work for the newsPAPER.
    And too many people still want it in paper form to drop THAT expense.
    I believe the future of the industry is bright, but this is an awkward time for the industry, which must keep a foot in two centuries while innovating. That’s why Wall Street is down on us, which is why McClatchy picked up Knight Ridder for a song.
    How did I get on THAT? Oh, yeah — Susie wanted to drop the paper. Well, don’t.
