Benton. Lotto seems kind of blah in comparison.
I feel like this is a pretty weak 3rd round match, but, then again, I seem less keen on Benton than everyone else. I'll go with Lotto and whomever they face next round.
Benton for me!
I feel Benton is far superior!
Benton
Benton.
Down with surly Venetian men in their silly hats! Thomas Hart Benton all the way!
[Anonymous is, I'm pretty sure, Monica emphasizing her point.]
Why is this so close? I don't know that I've liked Benton before, and I do like my Renaissance subjects, but I'm feeling the Benton love today.
Hey, I'm all for the Venetians, especially the new guy with the big book and the lizard. But I got to experience a whole room of Thomas Hart Benton murals at the Met last week, and I was completely wowed. Benton for me.
Susan votes Benton!

Lotto is really starting to grow on me! I vote for Tom Benton.
Why is this so close? Oh, it isn't. Benton racks up ten votes, Lotto only gets the one. It's Benton who will be taking on the Goldsworthy juggernaut next weekend in Fourth Round play.
