    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.

    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.

    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.
