DarylCagle.comIt’s Florida Primary day! Florida is the largest and most diverse state to cast their vote so far in the GOP Primary, with 50 delegates up for grabs in today’s winner-take-all contest, double the amount awarded in any other state so far.
With Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich bare-knuckle brawling to the bitter end, check out what our cartoonists think with our updated Florida Primary cartoon collection.
With the GOP Primary heating up in Florida, it’s Newt versus Mitt in a bare-knuckle fist fight over the direction of the Republican Party.
Vulture capitalist versus Freddie Mac lobbyist? Out-of-touch rich guy versus family values hypocrite? It’s almost like President Obama is writing these attack lines!
Tonight, President Obama will deliver his State of the Union speech as GOP candidates bludgeon themselves over vulture capitalism and influence peddling. Are Republicans making it easy for a President facing high unemployment and record levels of debt?
We’ll leave the history of tonight to Newt Gingrich. For now, check out our new State of the Union cartoon collection.
So far, this GOP Primary has been terrific for guys like me. All the Republican candidates are fun to draw, and at this point the only thing I’m concerned about is having enough pencils to keep up.
Mitt Romney has suddenly become the right’s whipping boy over “vulture capitalism” and his hesitancy to release his tax returns. Romney claims that Gingrich and others are attacking free enterprise, and Mitt’s proud of what he’s earned despite how much you may envy him. So if he’s so proud, why’s he afraid to let us know all about it?
Meanwhile, Newt Gingrich bashes the media and pretends to be the “family values” candidate despite his marital record and stories about hospital bed divorces…
Remember after Iowa and New Hampshire, when we all though Mitt would walk away with this primary easily? Yeah, not so much…
I guess New Hampshire wasn’t the cruel, bossy dominatrix we all thought she was…
Despite winning the South Carolina Primary, Newt Gingrich is still carrying a lot of baggage forward. The notion that the family values candidate is having to fight off attacks from his second wife over claims he wanted an “open marriage” could hamper the comeback of the former speaker, especially if he insists on sending the daughters from his first wife to defend his third wife against attacks from his second wife.
Uh-oh, I’ve gone cross-eyed. I think we’re better off checking out all the great Gingrich Women cartoons we have to offer.
This fascinating and fun to draw GOP Primary will continue to Florida, as Newt Gingrich has pulled off the upset and defeated Mitt Romney in the South Carolina Primary.
Newt is nearly a perfect candidate for the nation’s cartoonists. He’s very fun to draw, has enough baggage in his past to fit nearly every visual metaphor, and his harsh rhetoric offers great visuals for cartoonists to take advantage of.
Here are five recent Newt Gingrich cartoons that I thought I’d share. To view all our Newt Gingrich cartoons, click here.
Following last night’s debate, GOP Presidential hopefuls have hit the trail in hopes of securing a win in the South Carolina primary. For Romney, a win would all but secure his nomination, while Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich hope to pull off an upset with the state’s strong conservative voters.
