As I sat counting up all of your sensational comments for the month of July, I found my mind wandering to campaign finance reform (hey, it's an occupational hazard . . .) and thinking, I know there's a maximum personal contribution to candidates, and then I thought "there's one profession that gets well paid enough to max out in every election — modeling." Then of course my mind wandered (counting is, after all, dull) to my favorite models. I think I picked this one: Gemma Ward. She's pretty and could definitely teach me a thing or two about financing a campaign. I bet.
Have a guess who last month's Top Talker is? To find out if you're right, read more.
Well, well! Our favorite resident campaign finance expert lilkimbo ran away with this month's Top Talker prize, racking up 844 excellent comments! The top 500 rounded out nicely with a bipartisan coalition of excellent contributions all month long: stephley came in second with 777 comments, always strong competitor, UnDave35 with 773, JudeC with 578 and torgelson with 449.
Thank you to all of you for a wonderful month of debate, and I look forward to more!

1I wonder if she'll come back to comment on this entry...
2congratulations...
3Yay! I know you!
4Oh, whoa, I didn't even see my name! I knew I was getting addicted, but not that addicted. Kind of sad considering I was on vacation the last week of July and still made the top five.

6Torg - maybe you need to check out the Illinois Institute for Addiction Recovery's web addiction program! LOL!
7Haha, totally.
Oh, and I forgot to say...
Congrats!
Look, I broke my no emoticons rule just for the occasion.
8Congratulations Lilkim!
9I had planned on coming back to comment on this thread no matter who won; I figured I would at least be in the Top Five!
And thanks for the congrats everyone!
10And congrats to everyone else in the Top Five. I figured it would be Steph and torg up there with me. I predict torg will take it for August, based on the first eight days. And Dave, way to help me represent for Team Red!
11Congrats Lil! :anegyptian:
12Haha. At least you set out with a goal. I just get sucked in, not sure I should be congratulated, more embarrassed about the work I probably didn't get done.
13You are missed. Come back! Who's going to gloat over Edwards? Who's going to champion smaller government?
14Good Job Kim!! I am happy to say that I know you!!
15congrats lil kim!!
16and everyone else who rounded top five
Congrats!
I don't think I have ever been in the top 5. But it is always good to have something to work towards, I guess!
17Congrats, lilkimbo!! I stopped watching Anderson's coverage of Edwards' humiliation just to tell you that.
18Congrats Lilkimbo! And to the other top talkers! Vacation time for me! See ya,ll in a month!

28Auntie, don't worry, I have plenty of other hobbies and I am outside all of the time. It's pretty hard to be outside when you're at work, though!
And Jill, I think your posts are too long. You should break them up instead! Then you will have a chance to become Top Talker!
29Congrats, lilkimbo! And congrats to the other top talkers!
