Resolved: The candidate Rmoney shall no longer be referred to as "Mitt" only Willard. [View all]

The name "Mitt" conjures images of baseball picnics and apple pie.

"Willard" on the other hand invokes images of a RAT.

By referring to Willard the RAT as "mitt' or "mittens" is to personalize and humanize the automaton.

It will still be ok to refer to "Mittwits" as well as RobMe as you wish.
