Tom Toles drew this cartoon which depicts a newscaster invading a nervous-looking "Republican" elephant's personal space and asking him who will be his candidate. The caption says "Brain Freeze," suggesting that the Republican party has no idea who they will choose, and the hopefuls are watching through either a screen or window outside. The artist uses caricature and ridicule to both represent the collective presence of the Republican party and make fun of its total lack of consensus about the 2012 presidential campaign. The cartoonist is most likely fairly moderate or left leaning in his views but is definitely critical of the Republican party at this point in time.
