I almost missed the email yesterday because it was my birthday notifying me that I was picked for the mug.
So glad it was a solo solve.

The contest answer is CONNIVE. Seven presidential surnames are found in the grid: Democrats JACKSON, KENNEDY, CLINTON and CLEVELAND, and Republicans LINCOLN, GRANT and HAYES. As suggested by the clue to CENTER, go one letter left or right from each surname’s central letter, depending on party, to get the contest answer.
We try to keep politics out of the Crossword Contest but this week was a delightful exception. It drew a large popular vote: 1,857 entries, a landslide of 94% correct. With other votes for FLIP FLOP (9), TELL A LIE (8) and a bunch of one-entry wonders such as SOUND BAD, DECEIVE, TAKE BOTH SIDES, and NAME NAMES.
Congratulations to this week's winner: Joe Tobin of Arvada, Colo. (Second straight week our winner is from Arvada!)
Public Announcement for the resident statisticians to calculate the chances of 2 in a row from the same town.

Some would argue the chances are 50/50. It either is, or it isn't........!

No fair! How does a big, dumb, balding North American ape with no chin and a short temper even solve that!?

Lol! Hope I don't get banned before people realize I'm just referencing the mug winners username of Kwyjibo, haha. Which is a Simpson's reference from an early episode.
