Default Alfred E Smith dinner

Who caught it and what did you think? I think both Obama and McCain were pretty good, but McCain was great. McCain had me rolling. Obama had a few really good jabs as well.

They both surprised me. I didn't think either man had a sense of humor.

I loved when Obama said," Ive got the political views of Alfred E Smith, and the ears of Alfred E. Newman."

I looked at the latest CNN "Poll of Polls," and I remember at the end of last week and the beginning of this week, it was Obama 49% McCain 42% with Undecided 10%, now it's Obama 49% McCain 43% and Undecided 8%. This is not out of the ballpark. 2% of CNN's undecideds went for McCain, I suppose, andI think they're sickof hearing more of the same from the Obamacampaign, whileMcCain has a new good point and slogan line every week. Seriously,when you have more argumentsout there that sound mildly convincing compared to just one, you're going to gain the upper hand when peoplehavebeen sitting on the fence.

They were both funny, but ole' Johnny Mac was a real hoot.He stole the show. Where has this guy been all throughout the contest? McCain clearly won this "debate".

I just watched it on YouTube, and I thought McCain was the best at that dinner, he made it great.

I heard it over satellite radio while at work. Both were good, but McCain really surprised me. I think this should have replaced that second debate they had. The country would have had a better look at the two.

Obama's best line I thought, was when he talked about Rudy cross dressing with lipstick running as a Republican, and then turned to McCain as said "Tough primary you had there."

McCain floored me when he said "I have to think there are a few here that are pulling for me to win," then he turned to Hillary and said "Good to see you here Hillary."

I don't know how it played out on TV, but over the radio it was very entertaining.

I think McCain was better. And I think the crowd laughed much more at McCain's jokes. He just seemed to setup the punch line better than Obama. I liked Obama's comment that if he had to point out his fault it would be that he is awesome. I also liked what he said that contrary to what people think he is not the messiah but he does come from the planet Krypton. LOL

McCain just had one after another. Too many to get into. Probably my favorite was when he joked about Olbermann. He said he heard Olbermann had ordered a sign saying mission accomplished and that if he needed any help decorating he'd show Olbermann where to stick it. LMAO

My favorite Obama joke was when he confessed that allegations were about to spring up that he had fathered two African-American children in wedlock.
