Obama won the jokes competition hands down.

I am worried though about the swimsuit competition.

I am surprised that you would be suggesting Obama is the biggest joke by far !!

No problem, it's just youtube. Your PC may have caught a cold.

Romney's routine was more like a roast. He didn't get the spirit of the event. Started off with a self-deprecating line but quickly shifted into attack Obama mode. Sounded like his standard stump speech polished up by some real comedians who were kind enough to give their material to him. Hell, probably made good money on that actually.

Obama's routine was better and in better taste.

Mitt was funnier, I would say, but I doubt either one wrote their own material anyway.

I thought McCain's 2008 Al Smith speech topped both in subtle humor, and was far classier towards Obama at the time.

I agree that Romney did not get it.

In listening to the crowd I believe there were a lot of uncomfortable laughs during Romney's speech. I thought most of the laughter for Obama was comfortable....his Clint Eastwood remark at the beginning did not go over well.

One big difference with McCain was that the election was generally agreed to be lost four years ago at this event.
