All you need is an iPhone and an App. Presumably it knows not to stand to the left on the moving sidewalks. Check out the video here.

“I sure hope they don’t get Keanu Reeves to play me in the next Hard Knocks”

On the 666th Money Night Football, Sanchez scores a 66.6 passer rating, completes a season long pass of 66 yards, and on the season has 6 touchdowns and 6 interceptions.

I guess the only thing he doesn’t have is a tail, though I’m betting some Jets fans would disagree with that.

For those who missed it, Big Bird has been pressed into service by the Obama campaign. See it here:

We now find out that Big Bird is a conscientious objector

President Obama has ruffled some feathers at PBS by putting Big Bird in a TV ad attacking Mitt Romney.

“We have approved no campaign ads, and as is our general practice, have requested that the ad be taken down,” Sesame Workshop, the PBS-affiliated non-profit behind Sesame Street, said today in a statement.

Now, I know the point the Obama campaign is trying to make, but it’s a small one and too clever by half.  No one truly thinks that PBS (Big Bird, inclusively) is a central priority of the Romney campaign at the expense of other issues. His stance on the value of PBS is one of many positions, all the other of which are much more consequential regardless of your political viewpoint. There are plenty of things to legitimately disagree with Romney about if you are of the liberal persuasion, but instead of seizing upon those the Obama campaign is choosing to go small. In short, Obama’s people think this is Romney’s “you didn’t build that” moment. They simply do not get it.

“Try that again and I’m going to Canada”

The Big Bird distraction encapsulates what has become the 2012 Obama campaign. In 2008 it was big, but without specifics. In the last four years, with plenty of specifics at its disposal, the Obama political machine has made an Alice in Wonderland type of transformation. With more available substance comes a lesser public debate unsuited to the times. Instead of making the argument why his policies should continue, the president is playing the Muppet card. Instead of countering Romney’s allegations regarding his record, surrogates resort to just saying Romney lied even as Obama himself preferred asking the moderator to move on to another subject rather than setting the record straight in front of 68 million voters.

The conventional wisdom merely two weeks ago was that Romney’s campaign was dead and the election had been decided. Those who could read into the polling knew better as Romney has been leading with independents for months. Now, those same polls erroneously weighted with the 2008 Democrat turnout show Romney ahead. Based on every metric in presidential election history, if one had to call the election today it would have to be for the challenger. Just don’t expect to read that anytime soon in the New York Times or Washington Post.

Rasmussen’s daily tracking shows Romney surge ahead in 11 battleground states

This is the first time Romney has led the daily Swing State Survey since September 19. Until today, the president had led for 17 of the previous 19 days, and the candidates had been tied twice. This survey is based on findings from the previous seven days, with most of the responses now coming since Romney’s debate win last Wednesday night.

Forty-six percent (46%) of these Swing State voters are now “certain” they will vote for Romney and will not change their minds. Forty percent (40%) are certain they will vote for the president.

In 2008, Obama won these states by a combined margin of 53% to 46%, virtually identical to his national margin.

Romney has surged ahead in the national Pew poll as well.

As a courtesy, here’s the list of polls and their accuracy from the 2008 presidential campaign.
