This cartoon, drawn by Walt Handelsman, highlights Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, the two GOP frontrunners. Handelsman labels each candidate and describes them by offering their general view on the election. Romney is saying that he supports whatever the voter supports, playing at the "flip-flop" mentality that he seems to have. Gingrich is saying that if you don't vote for him, you're an idiot. I think this is probably a pretty accurate accusation since Gingrich seems like he doesn't have anything nice to say to anyone, or about anyone. I think Handelsman is trying to display both candidates as being too extreme in one way or another: Romney too flexible, Gingrich too strict. He's also pointing out that between these two candidates, the GOP doesn't have a middle ground frontrunner nominee and voters will be missing that safe, moderate candidate.
