In the cartoon there is a man flying off a mechanical bull.  The man's suit jacket has written the word "elections", while painted onto the machine it reads "super PAC money".  The man or politicians facial expression is worried.  He is looking at the ground searching for where he might land, while the mechanical bull is tilted, paused at the same spot the politicial was flung off into the air.  This symbolizes the dependency on super PACs.  All the candidates today have their own PACs, but the candidates are not to associate themselves with these fundraising organizations or even tell them what to do while they function.  The main super PAC that supports Romney is called Restore Our Future which has raised around 100 million dollars so far.  These PACs help set up ads on television and on the radio.  This cartoon is saying that if there were no super PACs or if the fundraising is not receiving enough donations, then the candidate is pretty much out of the race.  Money is the most important thing besides support when reaching for the nomination.  The PACs are churning out the most money they can like a machine and when the machine malfunctions then the candidate cannot get their message out to the public or retaliate to negative ads from other candidates.  This has does not have much of ideological tilt because it is fact.  Gingrich is doing so poorly because his donors are not contributing enough so it is difficult relating to the public or being featured on the media.

     This cartoon is in general a critisism of Newt Gingrich.  The image shows Newt with a double chin, chubby cheeks, but small eyes, nose and mouth to go along with his large face.  He has crows feet on the edges of his eyes and in addition to the grey hair he appears to be old.  On the wall behind him there is graffiti with word "get out", "take a hike", "go", "enough", and "quit".  Gingrich's response to all of these suggestions is "What writing on what wall".  He does not want to except the fact that he is behind in the polls, almost at the level of Ron Paul.  He is only still in the race because his super PAC, Winning Our Future, is pumping in millions of dollars to run campaign ads and get out his true conservative views.  The slant of this cartoon is definitely conservative.  Some conservatives want the race play out and if it is Romeny and Santorum, with Gingrich out of the race, then it will be more likely for Romney to be battled and struggling to reach 1144 in delegates.  Gingrich is not as conservative as Santorum but he has taken away Evangelical votes from Rick and also far right wing voters.  Gingrich however is stubborn and keeps on claiming that he will stay in the race until Tampa, where the GOP convention will be held.  Gingrich is a beleiver put it is truly impossible for him to win the nomination at this point with so little delegates.
