The GOP Primary has come down to an epic battle between front-runner Mitt Romney and Washington insider outsider Newt Gingrich. Here are my most recent cartoons about these two fun-to-draw candidates:

Florida Primary Cartoons
It’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.

Mitt Newt and Jobs
Today the White House criticized comments by Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus comparing President Obama to the captain of the Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia, who allegedly abandoned his sinking ship.
Priebus said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that Obama was “our own little Captain Schettino,” and accused the President of abandoning ship and spending more time on his re-election campaign.
Preibus wasn’t the only person to make this analogy. Some of the nation’s top political cartoonists drew cartoons to the same effect. So is it a fair analogy to make, or was Priebus (and our cartoonists) wrong to make the comparison?

Newt Versus Mitt: Five Funny Cartoons
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!
Just received word that Chris Britt (view Britt’s recent cartoons here) has been laid-off from his job as the staff cartoonist for the State Journal-Register in Springfield, Illinois. Chris, a contributor to Cagle.com, has been the staff cartoonist at the Journal-Register since 1999, and was let go amid cutbacks and financial difficulties by the paper’s parent company, Gatehouse.
According to the Illinois Times, Britt said he wasn’t sure whether he was given a reason for his firing.
“They may have – I was just in a little bit of a daze,” he told the paper. “Economic re-structuring, or something like that.”
Here’s a video of Britt back in 2008 talking about cartooning and the impact it can have, especially locally:

State of the Union Cartoons
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.

My Recent Campaign Cartoons
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…

Gingrich And His Wives Cartoons
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.
