The main symbols in this, Daryl Cagle's cartoon New Hampshire is First, are New Hampshire, a chubby old lady with a whip, and Uncle Sam representing the USA voters. The cartoon satirizes the fact that just because Iowa and New Hampshire go first they have way more sway than any other primary on the minds of the USA voters. We take the first two primaries/ caucuses and base the rest of the nomination around them as they were being forced to. That seems to be the view point that Daryl is trying to express. I agree because people look less and less at the actual candidates and more and more at whether or not they’d so happened to be up in the polls.
