1. Adam Zygliss drew this for the Buffalo News.
2. Key objects:
- Mitt Romney: After winning both the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary, Mitt Romney is currently the front-running candidate in the Republican primary race (#1 foam hand). He'll most likely become the GOP candidate to run against Obama if he wins in South Carolina. However, he's recently been scrutinized for being part of the upper "1%" (thus the % poster), and therefore is unable to truly connect with voters.
3. The cartoon uses caricature and ridicule to mock Romney's current lead and potential facade of being "one of the people" when he clearly is not. The cartoonist does this with the added 1% poster and the foam finger.
4. The cartoon addresses the recent attacks against Romney of him being unable to relate to the general public, and most notably the middle class.
5. The cartoon's message shows that Romney is not one of the "average" Americans.
6. The cartoonist doesn't directly show any bias, but clearly thinks that Romney is not who most think he is.
