(not in Ohio)
you can do much better jim. you don't do enough to capture how tired so many people are of the current administration and their criminal policies and what a fresh voice obama is.
besides if you listen to willie you would know obama would never stand before a flag.
How apt.
I heard a talk show host in PA telling people in Ohio to vote for Hillary. They did.
You should do a cartoon about the Clinton lies about NAFTAgate.
This is a good time, I think, to ask a neutral, technical question of Herr Doktor Borgman:
At what point do you consider it "safe" to stop putting a label (i.e. button or other indicia) identifying a figure? For example, you no longer need to ID Sen. Obama.
Hi Jim, good cartoon--great drawing. I couldn't help noticing, however, that the flag is hanging backward (union goes on the left.) Maybe a distress signal?
eocostello,
He did label Obama on the signs below.
But a decent Obama caricature doesn't need a label at all.
I want more people drawn at the bottom of the cartoon. Seems very bare with a person here and there.
still can't come up with your own ideas? have to steal from the blog? OLD age....OLD cincy..."new" president????????????????????????
McBama: war, abortion, gay marriage; let's add to the list of destruction
Actually Obama stood before a flag at the UC rally. There is proof of that at the UC sudent-run newspaper; check it out for yourself. Go Bobcats! ooops....thanks Obama
if Obama wins in November,you should draw a cartoon of the Middle East heads of state and terror cells laughing at the boy president...no racism intended...ask Barack to spell potato...that's a qualifier for The WH you know.

wow! PA is more powerful than OH!!
the question really is,
1. can the delegates be bought (with Oprah financing)
2. how did bush get his votes
six of one, half a dozen of the other
chicken or egg; which is worse, the cartoonist or newspaper?
what's bush's new standard for rhetoric?
masw
mothers against swooners
Great, thanks. Jim, did you do a 'toon with several middle-easterns in robes asking to speak to Obama? I couldn't find it. I like it. Thanks for that, too.
who
how come america never does what the people want? only what the media wants, including the war??
appeals to the lowest common denomenator
another puppet
what does he stand for again?
9:24 pm
he got the wright flyer wrong a couple years ago too; he's not very technically correct, which is why he like mcbama
no way Obama gets the nomination.no.way.
ya know,another Clinton presidency is just what this country deserves.Hillary will make Bill's reign of incompetency and dereliction look like brilliance when she starts driving the car...thank God for seat belts and air bags...we're about to go over the freakin cliff.
Come on Jim, seriously. I'm really tired of what is becoming pro-Obama propaganda day after day. I may even support him, but seriously, try to detach yourself. Not only is is bias, but this cartoon is pretty dull... just something you did to hype your guy.
HOT AIR
another cincy tornado
typical american: takes no responsibility; how in the hell can there be change???
The flag is hanging backwards. The union (field of stars) always goes on the upper left whether hung up & down or left & right.
Perhaps this is the new liberal flag like the one on the TV show Jericho.
Major, US Army retired
Ahhhhhh. Very good catch, Major.
Not that liberals like Mr. Borgman would know any better.
Maybe next time, Mr. Borgman can just draw a white flag behind Obama? Or maybe a Crescent Moon flag?

PENNSYLVANIA PRIMARY
State looks like prime territory for Clinton
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton may have an early edge in the Democratic primary contest here, but her rival Sen. Barack Obama has time to catch up.
Volunteers find first day in field isn't easy
Local broadcasters expecting deluge of campaign ads
Centrist evangelicals lift their political voice
Obama wins Wyoming caucuses
Campaign '08
Clintons push a Hillary/Obama ticket
In hailing Obama as a possible vice president, the Clintons are reaching out to him and to his backers, whose support she would need to defeat McCain in the November election. (Reuters, 8:21 p.m.)
More Campaign '08 news
UC takes worst loss in 95 years
The Bearcats produced a loss of historically embarrassing proportions against No. 13 UConn on Sunday.
Can you turn off anonymous posting. That would clear up a lot of noise on your blog...
Attention poster: When readers want to read the news they can go to the site and read it, maybe you can post links to articles you wish to alert others to vs spamming someone else's blog.
And on another note, the comic is not "liberal" or "pro Obama", it points fun at everyone (including the media's) weak knees whenever Obama speaks. A point that McCain and Clinton both do not appreciate.
I think your work is brilliant even if I do not agree with your point of view.
the democrats are going to lose to the republicans, mostly because of cincinnati
this country isn't free
how much is Oprah paying the Enquirer to keep all of Hillary's successes in Ohio and PA off the paper and blogs??

Clinton, Obama court Ravenstahl's support
Clinton, Obama court Ravenstahl's support
Monday, March 10, 2008
By Rich Lord, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
On Friday, former President Bill Clinton called. This morning, it was Sen. Barack Obama. Seems that with Pennsylvania the next big prize in the presidential nomination battle, Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl is a hot political commodity.
they should take away your pulitzer prize for lying cheating and stealing like specter and the bengals want the Pats rings
Could'a been worse: here's GW Bush standing on the flag and here defacing one.
Can someone please tell me why conservatives hate America so much?
can someone please figure out why specter is going after the pats instead of the airlines and engine makers? especially for cost reduction?

I'll vote for the candidate that can keep Ohio's kids from being murdered.

US retail gasoline, diesel prices hit records

Cheney to discuss peace and oil on Middle East trip
this paper sucks: you support all the shady stuff going on in cincy
and you can't live in cincy if you're poor
nothing has changed in politics in 100 years; NOTHING is new!! (if only the candidates didn't hate each other!)
Y'know 6:53;
When I grew up - in the Reagan era - spying on citizens, encuraging citizens to spy on each other, torture and imprisoning citizens without charge were all hallmarks of the USSR and East Germany.
These countries and habits were the enemy of freedom and the US way of life. How funny is it now that the party of Reagan supports all these things?
