Well, I don't know if the statement above is a fact, but there sure are a bunch of political cartoons around. I've picked out a few that aren't too mean and that basically sum up the events surrounding the 2008 presidential election. My favorite is the Galveston one--totally funny, but so sad at the same time.
Enjoy!

These are great. My favorite is the one with Joe the plumber and also the one with the tic-tac-toe game.
I thought that the one with Obama and McCain playing tic-tac-toe was a clever way of showing that Obama will probably win.
these are all actually pretty good ones
I personally like the one with the bracket... The ultimate winner of this presidential race will clearly have to fight the angry monster known as our economy. Then again, I doubt and hope our economic troubles won't last over 4 years so I think it's pretty likely that the candidate who wins the election will also be remembered as the one who "saved us"
I agree with jeff. I also liked the cartoon with the brackets. Although it is funny, there is a more serious underlying message. Even though the campaign seems to be mostly focused on which candiate is being more nasty toward his opponent, or the latest SNL skit (which are hilarious by the way), in reality our president has a very serious job ahead of him. The candidate that we elect is going to have to fight our "angry" economy, and hopefully save us from the downward spiral we currently seem to be trapped in.
I think it's very sad that the first cartoon with the baby looking at the deficit spikes is the most realistic. Curse those greedy investors who had to go ahead and screw up our lives. See if I pay for your social security when I'm going to spend the rest of my life paying off your mistakes. It's so sad that this economic situation is limiting the opportunities that high school students can take advantage of, such as the music tour, or study abroad programs. Some people can't even afford to pay to apply to all the schools they want to, never-the-less pay for tuition.
My best cartoon of the political season.
