Every day, the Daily Dot finds something that people on Facebook are sharing and, in turn, share it with you—with a little explanation. Here’s today’s share.

Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich wants you to associate Mitt Romney with President Obama.

“This person opposes Obamneycare,” reads a photo posted to Gingrich’s Facebook account yesterday evening. An arrow points to the where a Facebook user’s profile picture would go.

And, like many successful shares, it makes a specific request in the caption: “Can we get 2,000 SHARES against Obamneycare!?”

It’s been shared 3,000 times so far, and the number is steadily rising.

Romney resoundingly defeated Gingrich in the Florida primary Tuesday, and many media outlets think that that signals Romney will win the Republican nomination. Gingrich has repeatedly criticized Romney, saying the health care plan he implemented while governor of Massachusetts isn’t much different from the national plan implemented under Obama’s presidency.
