Question Of The Week 1/15/12
At the halfway point of my senior year I have completed a lot so far. I have kept up good grades in all my classes and prevented myself from going into a senior slump. Also I applied to all the universities that I want to attend and hopefully I get into one of my top choices. Coming into 2nd semester ill probably still keep up with my work but I won't let myself become as stressed as I was 1st semester with everything else that was going on. I am looking forward to graduation in June and letting my college career start soon and getting high school over with.

The cartoon was drawn by Robert Ariail who was the editorial cartoonist for The State newspapers from 1984 until 2009. He is now published in more than 600 other newspapers through United Features Syndicate. In the cartoon it shows how all the other possible G.O.P. candidates who could receive the nomination are criticizing Mitt Romney. The Republican Party is always constantly disagreeing with each other over social, economic, and foreign policy issues. It shows Newt Gingrich disapproving of Romney's corporate background, Huntsman, Perry, and Paul describing how he isn't a good candidate for the party, and Santorum saying that he won't stand a chance against Obama in the Presidential election. Then there is President Obama who is happy that the Republican Party is such a mess because it raises his chances on getting reelected and becoming a 2 term President. The cartoonist ridicules the Republican Party for the mess that they are currently in over nominating a candidate that could win the Presidential election. The cartoon deals with the issue of the G.O.P trying to nominate a candidate that most of the party would agree on. The cartoonist's point of view is that the G.O.P. needs to get their act together and unify on their positions or the Democrats and President Obama will get reelected.

Question Of The Week 1/08/12
I believe that the candidate who will win the G.O.P. nomination for President will be Mitt Romney. This is because he won the Iowa caucus which gives him plenty of forward momentum in the rest of the primaries to come. Romney also has an organized campaign which will help him gather more support and make it easier for him to win primary elections throughout the nation. Among all the other candidates Romney has raised the most money for his campaign which has helped him lead the polls, considering the amount of money that he poured into Iowa in order to win the caucus. Even though Santorum came close to winning the Iowa caucus I do not believe that he will continue to improve because he has an unorganized campaign and is not very favored among the Republican Party.

The cartoon was drawn by Larry Wright who has been drawing a daily cartoon panel called "Kit N Carlyle since 1980 for United Media. In the cartoon there is a curious child asking his father why the presidential candidates spend such a huge amount of money campaigning for the primary elections. The father seems to be uninterested in the question because he has probably heard the same question being asked many times by different people. The cartoonist is using ridicule to show how much money presidential candidates are using in primary elections while many Americans today are still struggling to survive in the tough economy. The issue that this cartoon deals with is the amount of money that is currently being spend on campaigning for the presidential primaries. The cartoon's message is that candidates need to focus more and connect with the American public rather than spending all of this money on the campaign trail. The cartoonist's point-of-view seems to be more conservative going against spending all this money campaigning.
