All the political people who follow this stuff day in and day out care about the style and the delivery but every day folks are talking about Big Bird today. Anecdotally, I was driving in the car this morning and the guy on the satellite Christian music station says, "We don't discuss politics here, but I have to say that I really like Big Bird. If you don't know what I mean go watch the debate from last night." Well, most people who didn't watch but want to know what he meant won't go watch the debate, they will look it up online and just in case they look here: Mitt Romney wants to kill Big Bird!

Here is Big Bird's response to Romney Tx4obama Oct 2012 #1
