    In case you can't quite read that, it says "Narnia can go shove it," followed by a Buzzfeed link to photographs of fantastic locations that seem to have been pulled directly from someone's fantasy.  Apparently a Truth Team staffer thought he was using his personal twitter account and hit "tweet" before realizing it and sent the Narnia trash talk to all 90,003 followers.  A "delete" quickly followed.

    For a campaign whose lead in the polls is melting like Narnian snow in Father Christmas' wake (admit it - best. simile. ever.), you'd think the folks there would be more careful not to alienate anyone.  Then again, when you think about the Obama Truth Team, which C.S. Lewis character comes to your mind?

    Yeah.  Me, too.
