Here's a selection of some of the other better lines we received:
“Heads or tails, Charlotte wins!”
"The budget for the 'thin blue line' -- one thin dime!"
"As it is in most elections, money will be the deciding factor."
"We're both tails."
"Let's stop fighting over this money slated for Charlotte road construction."
"The winner gets to veto the flip."
"This economy makes it tough to raise money, so why don’t we just flip for it."

I liked mine better:
