Political Cartoon #2

-This cartoon was drawn by the well known cartoon artist Mike Luckovich.
-The two men sitting in the love-seat represent the people of the voting population, who are tired of watching the many "flavor-of-the-month" Republican nominees rise and fall. Why they are sitting in a love-seat I dont know. The very big-screen TV on the wall shows an image of Newt Gingrich  speak, as if during a debate.
-Luckovich uses several techniques to get his point across. First he uses exaggeration to make Gingrich's caricature look strange and even scary (the size of Newt's head is often the subject of much ridicule). He uses some satire and comedy in the voice-bubble of the two men watching the TV.
-The cartoon deals with Newt's tendency to talk. During debates, Gingrich often talks past his time limit, and he has much to talk about. But the real issue is that voters have seen four or five of the many Republican nominees rise in the polls and then fall back down again due to personal or other problems. Gingrich is the latest to do this, and the general feelings are that he too is just another flavor-of-the-month.
-The cartoonist is simply trying to show the feelings that many people have towards Gingrich and the election as a whole on the GOP side. He doesn't really have, or strongly show a point-of-view, but he may feel the same way as the people in his work.
