This cartoon depicts Ron Paul with an ax next to two huge tree trunks, each labeled respectively as Newt and Romney.
This cartoon most likely has to do with the fact that Ron Paul's support shot up incredibly the past week or so in Iowa, overtaking Romney and being only one point behind Gingrich, leading many to believe that the 76-year old just might have a chance and snatching the nomination from these two powerhouses. (erm, well looking at Romney, not so much, but you know what I mean)
If not taking the nomination, then Paul's support could significantly alter the outcome who gets the nomination as he is stealing supporters from both Romney and Gingrich, skewing whoever is truly a frontrunner.
The cartoonist is probably someone who has an interest in Paul's surprising popularity, and might even support him, leaving them to be a bit of a right-winger; though admittedly, their view is hard to tell from this cartoon.
