Question of the Week #6
It's still pretty hard to believe that this time next year I'll be in college (you know, hopefully, if all goes well). Even though senior year has been long, and I'm not even done, it's been good. I've worked really freaking hard, probably harder than I ever have before, and I hope it shows. I'm so grateful to be done soon, because honestly, I just want to go to college and get on with my life.

This cartoon by Walt Handelsman is a depiction of a news reporter who is absolutely shocked that the economy is indeed improving. He's reporting that the unemployment rate is falling (currently 8.5% of the labor force) and that consumer confidence is on the rise. He's so shocked he has to read the report twice. I think this cartoon is meant to really enforce the fact that our economy is indeed improving despite doubt and shy stepping. Handelsman is displaying his shock through his work with this cartoon.

Question of the Week #5
I think the GOP candidate will be Mitt Romney. It's not that other candidates don't have support, but that Romney has an organized campaign set up where as others do not. He can successfully manage a strong national campaign, a strong point where his fellow nominees have been lacking. Also, some Republican voters think he is the only candidate that has a serious chance of beating President Obama. I think that if Mitt Romney wins New Hampshire, the GOP will have it's nominee.

In this cartoon Walt Handelsman portrays two New Hampshirites warming their hands with a space heater/ Newt Gingrich. Handelsman is suggesting that Newt is so angry about New Hampshire, that he is boiling and potentially heat up his surroundings. Gingrich is reading a paper that says "Mitt UP, Newt DOWN". This cartoon features the recent trends in GOP voting of certain candidates surging, then losing support. Since Newt Gingrich was endorsed by the Union Leader, a conservative New Hampshire newspaper, and Mitt Romney's poll numbers are predicting a decisive victory, this is especially embarrassing for him.
