2. The cartoon is relatively straightforward, offering a detailed caricature of Jon Huntsman, a GOP hopeful whose chances hinge on the New Hampshire primary.
3. Jones appears to take a cynically humorous approach to Huntsman in his unflattering caricature. Numerous signs surround the candidate, each pertaining to a particular draw towards his nomination. "He's a Mormon, but not a Romney" and "He's not Newt!" seem to remark upon the draw of a particular candidate simply through dissatisfaction with the opposition. Such a rise already occurred for Newt and Santorum, and their briefs spurts of stardom indicate the cartoonist's belief that Huntsman's supposed fame will be short-lived. Oh, and he spoke mandarin during the New Hampshire debate. That's pretty cool.
4. As stated, it deals with Huntsman's strong media coverage as a result from the New Hampshire debates, and the belief that such attention will be brief.
5. Huntsman's rather strong showings in recent debates are instrumental in his campaign. Without an established base and funding, a surprise in New Hampshire may validate him as a true candidate. Who knows after Santorum...
6. The cartoonist appears to display a mocking tone towards the press's lauding of Huntsman.
