It’s time for ‘Beat 360°!’

Everyday we post a picture – and you provide the caption. Our staff will get in on the action too.

Tune in every night at 10p ET to see if you are our favorite! Can you Beat 360°?

Here is the ‘Beat 360°’ pic of the day: Sen. John McCain is asked a question by Piper Macke, right, during an interview with McCain in Cincinnati, Ohio. Spencer Macke, center, earned the admiration of Sen. John McCain by selling $4,000 worth of yellow ribbons to benefit troops abroad, so the first-grader and his younger sister were rewarded Thursday by getting to ask the Republican presidential contender a series of five questions.

Beat 360°

Have fun with it.

Make sure to include your name, city, state (or country) so we can post your comment.
