The political cartoonist is assessing Newt Gingrich's campaign for Republican nomination. There is one clear feature that the cartoonist tries to highlight in this cartoon--the metaphorical and literal baggage that Gingrich holds. All of the mistakes that Gingrich made--government shutdown, ethics charges, etc--before are still in the limelight. Gingrich is trying to cover up his past scandals to start anew. The cartoonist wants to highlight that America can't forget and won't forget what Gingrich had done.
We can clearly see that the political cartoonist is displaying satire about Gingrich's campaign for nomination. Gingrich cannot hide his past, just by running for GOP nomination. America still remembers what happened before, under Newt Gingrich, and Republicans should not be stupid enough to make that same mistake again.
Then again, if Newt wins, Obama can chalk up another victory, so maybe it is a good thing Gingrich is running.
