This comic was drawn by Gary Varvel. It shows Mitt Romney trying to get to the top of the ladder, which symbolizes the Republican Nomination, and the other candidates trying to cut him down and keep him away from the nomination. This author uses satire and symbols to get his point across. I think that the cartoonist is trying to point out that Romney is clearly the forerunner, but everyone else is trying to keep him from the nomination. Right now, Romney is on the path to the nomination, but as we've seen with, most recently, Gingrich and Santorum, people are constantly sneaking up and getting close to toppling Romney. I don't think the cartoonist believes they will succeed though, as Romney seems very stable on that ladder.
