Political Cartoon #3

Bride of Mitt
I was not able to find the artist of this cartoon, but I liked it so...
The key subjects in the cartoon are Mitt Romney and his bride, the Republican Elephant. Mitt Romney represents Mitt Romney, and the Republican Elephant represents the people of the GOP who are looking for some one who can beat Obama next year.
The artist used caricature to make fun of Romney, exaggerating his large head and facial features. He also uses satire, simply trying to make the cartoon funny enough to grab people's attention.
The cartoon deals with Romney who has been so stable and high in the Republican field's polls, yet he is often discribed as "dull". Republicans are married to Romney, dependent on his stability and recognition level to beat Obama. But at the same time, Republicans are wanting to find someone else who can take his place at the top and can win. The artist seems to be looking at Romney from the other side of the isle.
