This comic may look to be referencing the beginning of the republican primary race but when looking at it critically it can be inferred that it might be a microcosm for the race as a whole. What's important to not of course are the flip flops that Mitt Romney is wearing at the starting block. These shoes could have many different meanings. One might look at this comic and say that the flip flops are referencing the frequent changing positions on social issues Romney has experienced in the past, hence "the flip-flops" Another interpretation of these flip flops might be the extremely volatile public opinion towards the Republican candidates. A different way of analyzing this might mean one to believe that the flip flops stand for Mitt Romney's inability to close out the race. Flip flops obviously aren't good running shoes so there's a good chance they symbolize lack of closing ability.
