. . . for slamming Romney in his campaign's viral 'Big Bird' videos (which highlights his pledge to eliminate funding for public television), thus drawing more attention to Romney's miscalculated debate point.

I mean who hasn't he alienated --- from Britain to Spain, to dog lovers, to the 47 percent? I have never seen more reports of individuals requesting that Mitt stop using their music or their personal stories in a political context.

What celebrity endorsement besides Lindsay Lohann, Chuck Norris and Clint does Mitt even have?
All that is propping his ass up is the media and Mitts rich friends. I think this will be a landslide with great down ticket effects.

Messing with the big yellow bird and then doubling down seems to be the perfect tipping point. I would like to see the cover of Time with Mitt on one side and Big Bird on the other.
