What has happened in the last week?
I thought I was mildly observing a predictable election campaign where a stable American president was in the process of dispatching a shaky gaffe-prone contender full of bluster and was well on his way to a steady re-election. Honestly, I thought Obama had a strong chance of being returned but with a slightly less resounding win than 2008. Now the polls in all swing states are showing Romney level-pegging or pulling ahead.
Maybe Al Gore was right. That freaky Denver altitude has given Obama a week long brain lapse.
Camp DNC's latest desperate attempt to shake Obama out of his poll-slump funk was enlisting non-political Big Bird - a licensed trademark character of Sesame Workshop's Sesame Street, without the organization's consent into its online and broadcast political advertising.
The result -
Sesame Workshop To Obama Campaign: Leave Big Bird Out Of It

Favorite quote from the post writer - "On Tuesday, Sesame Workshop asked the Obama campaign to take down the ad, essentially saying it didn't have a bird in this fight."
One of the comments in reply offered up: "Big Bird is neither left wing or right wing".
I agree. Big Bird is, and should be just what he is: nonpartisan.
