2. The cartoon is certainly an eye-catcher, depicting Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, and Newt Gingrich as birds over a sprawl of cold hard cash. Each bird seems to represent the figure of the candidate, caricaturing Newt's girth, Romney's more slender character, and Paul's, erm.....seemingly (and unfairly) unelectable aging figure.
3. As stated, the cartoonist uses caricature to depict the candidates in a humorous fashion that ties into the drawing's primary purpose.
4. The cartoon depicts the three birds standing over a swath of dollars, representing both their incredibly costly campaigns and questionable financial background. Especially with Romney, business practice has become an incredibly important factor in the election, and Newt hopes to capitalize on a few financial idiosyncrasies of Romney's in the South Carolina race. If all is right in the world they'll both implode and Paul will come out with a shocking victory.
5. The GOP nomination's core candidates have helmed incredibly costly campaigns, coupled with questionable financial backgrounds.
6. The cartoonist appears to be quite disapproving of the candidates, given their humorous depiction.
