This cartoon, Newt Occupies SC, by Rick McKee features Newt Gingrich, a tent, a sign, and what appears to be two republicans as the major items. The Tent and the sign behind it connect Newt with the occupy movement, something Newt is openly against, saying that he is willing to wait in south Carolina and bring himself down to bring down Romney. Newt is made out to be a chubby, baby-like figure showing that he is being a baby about the results thus far in the election and the sign he is holding states that Romney is a capitalist pig, connoting that Gingrich isn't a capitalist which, in a capitalist country, is a bad thing to be. The two republicans in the background are stating the obvious, he's desperate. The cartoonist obviously hates or at least disdains Newt Gingrich. He is calling him a hypocritical, communist old fat guy whom doesn't even have the support of his own party and has become desperate for attention to pull down Romney. While this is all a bit extremely, the carton merely functions to show the cartoonists view that Newt is not the right guy for the presidency.
