Obama's Chances

Obama's approval has been bouncing up and down. His approval is bouncing between 40-50% with it currently being 44%. I think that he has a good chance of winning the presidency, depending on who the GOP candidate is. If it's either Gingrich or Romney he has a good chance of winning, both have flip-flopped on big issues, and since they are the two primary candidates his chance actually appear to be quite good.

Roadkill Rampage

This was drawn by Adam Zyglis. This shows how all of the GOP candidates so far have not had much success running a fast paced race and the only one who has done consistently well is Romney. This picture shows how Bachman was the first to pull ahead and then get mowed down, followed by Perry, and Cain. This picture is also foreshadowing Gingrich's downfall, in the corner you can see another bunny with no name, but it's pretty clear who the author thinks will win the nomination. He is saying that slow and steady wins the race, and that Romney is getting closer to it, he purposefully left another rabbit up there to represent Gingrich who he is predicting will fail.

Romney (D) vs. Romney (R)

In the "who will win the GOP nomination?" debacle, first off, it won't be Cain. Now for Mitt Romney he could win the nomination for many different reasons. One of the biggest ones is unlike all of the other candidates he has a fairly clean record. He is both well financed and supported and has a great appeal to the more moderate republican base.

The biggest things he has running against him is not, contrary to popular belief, Newt Gingrich's many chins, but himself. The way he ran things as governor and his flip-flopping on core beliefs all hurt him in almost every debate. Also his religious affiliation, "not" being a christian, but being a Mormon hurts him. His religion, flip-flopping on core beliefs, and centered ideas will make it hard for him to win the nomination, since most people that vote in primaries are the ones that lean more strongly.

Forced Labor

By: Monte Wolverton
Gingrich is overseeing a forced labor camp, which is a joke about his idea for child labor, he wants to let kids work for their schools in exchange for money and work experience.

The author is using an ironic exageration to get his point across, of course they would never be put into a pit like that and forced to work.

This has to deal with his recent comment on child labor and his idea to help fix some issues he sees with it.

The idea here is that allowing young children to work, is unfair to them, and likely to lead to the abuse of the system.

The cartoonist is most likely a liberal who believes in childrens' rights.
