Cartoons from Election Night
Cross-posted at Delaware Punchline.
Last night I was invited to take part in WHYY’s live coverage of the Delaware mid-term elections. I was on set for an hour, and was able to pump out three cartoons (to varying degrees of quality).
The first focused on Republican Christine O’Donnell’s predictable loss to Democrat Chris Coons.
Next, I decided to tackle the race for Delaware’s lone congressional seat between Democrat John Carney and Republican Glen Urquhart. There were many angles to explore, but I thought of a funny idea involving the akward relationship between Carney and former governor Ruth Ann Minner.
Finally, I had about 10 minutes left, so I pumped out my final (and roughest) cartoon of the night, which pretty much summed up my feeling about the evening. Basically, a great night for Democrats, and a bad night for cartoonists (unless Chris Coons suddenly admits a history of witchcraft).

LOL. I love the last one. Poor Rob. Well, there is always Palin.
I like that last one. Based on the coverage, the Coons ODonnell race was the most important race in the country.
Caught you on WHYY—great job!!!
LOL, love the last one.
I like the last one, too. Funny about that first one, tho, ‘cuz that was the exact illustration I had in my mind, except I was busy trying to figure out how you could include some ash heap near O’Donnell that is the moderates of the GOP. Lest we forget that is her collateral damage.
