The candadites are more focused on winng the race then alctural adressing the grim reality experenced by the citizens. An examble of this would be an political cartoon with a box that has McCain saying" I said "change" 10 time today.", and Obama saying" I said "change" 20 times today." This proves that the candidtes want votes so much that they compete about how many times they say the word "change". With another box that has a man holding an unempolment sign on and holding a cup saying" I said "change" 300 times today. This is an example of the grim reality of citizen and the problems indicting that no matter how many times the word "change" is said it doesn't matter. Political candidates are showen as people wanting votes rather then helping the people.

George Bush is being depicted as unpopular and McCain and the Republican Party not wanted to be associated with him. To show this point the political cartoon shows McCain in an exorcise outfit. This shows that McCain is going to purge something. Then it has McCain over an elipghan in a bed shakeing with a bed over it and McCaine's hand over it saying "I cast you out unpopular spirit! Be gone forever, George Bush!!!" this further shows that the repulican part is not willing to be assosiated with George Bush and to do this they have to cast his emmage out of the repulican partys image. The republican dipicted it as disowning bush and casting him from there image.

The Republican Party is being depicted as to were your taxs go. This is showen in a political cartoon weres theres a man saying to his friend "Next time i have to pay my taxes I'm not just going to send it in, I'm going to find some rich guy and give it to him". This shows that all the tax money is going to the rich. You see this when the mans friend says" right much more demercratic". This is saying that is demercratic to give the money to the rich. The Demercratic Party is said to give taxs to the rich.

Connecticut Personal and Political Importance
Connecticut has both personal and political importance because of its stands on abortion. Connecticut's law states that you do not need parental approval or supervision for an abortion. I agree with this because I believe if you are old enough to conceive a baby then you are old enough to decide if or when you want to have an abortion. Obama is pro-choice while McCain is pro-life. This state can be a great help to Obama in wining the election because the fact of its laws. Four-teen out of fifty, of twenty-eight percent, states have laws that say you don't have to have parental permission to have an abortion.
