Tell us what the counselor is saying in the May edition of the Smithereens Cartoon Caption Contest.

By (contact)

What happens when people who have already walked down the wedding aisle find themselves on different sides of the political fight of the year? You'll have to tell us by participating in the May edition of the Smithereens Cartoon Caption Contest.

The rules are simple: Mike Smith provides a cartoon with a blank word bubble. You tell us what it should say. Please enter your submission in the comments below or on our Facebook or Google+ pages.

Submissions are open until May 18. We'll pick our five favorites and you can vote for the winner beginning May 23. We'll announce the results May 31.

You can see the previous contests here.

Good luck!

    Maybe you should ignore the extremes and meet in the middle.

    So I am confused. Isn't Mitt the red states and Obama the blue states?

    At least you're sitting together in the same room willing to talk about your problems with each other. That's more than can be said about your candidates.

    Compromise on a 3rd-party candidate. Neither one of you want to eat the family dog or put it on the roof of your car.

    You should both vote for "None of the above" since neither one of you want to eat the family dog or put it on the roof of your car.
