Political Cartoon #5:

1. Adam Zygliss drew this for the Buffalo News. 

2. Key objects:

• Mitt Romney: The current leading GOP candidate. He probably has the most financial support out of any of the candidates (thus the "Unlimited Cash: $$$$"), and his experience with campaigning and organizational skills far surpass any of the other candidates. He recently unleashed a huge dirty ad campaign against Newt Gingrich in preparation for the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary. 
• Newt Gingrich: Another GOP candidate. He was expected to have good support in Iowa, but after Romney's ad campaign that targeted him, his values, and his policy, Gingrich dropped significantly in the polls. Many people find that he is being targeted specifically by Mitt Romney (therefore he is pac-man food in the game played by Romney). 
• Pacman game: The Pac-man arcade game is a play on the acronym PAC (Political Action Committee). Romney, unlike Gingrich, is gaining most of his financial support via PACs, and is consequently using that money to target Gingrich in a series of (costly) ad campaigns. 

3.  The cartoon uses a little bit of ridicule to make fun of the fact that Romney is out to get Gingrich. By making Romney the player of the game, Gingrich appears incredibly insignificant, weak, and inadequate. 

4. The cartoon addresses Romney's recent ad campaign against Gingrich. 

5. The cartoon demonstrates Romney's financial power to destroy the other candidates. 

6. The cartoonist doesn't directly show any bias, but clearly thinks that Gingrich doesn't stand much of a chance against Romney.
