Al's Dinner - US Election 2012



BBC News: Reviews the stand up routines of President Obama and Governor Romney at the Alf Smith Dinner.

Lets Get Real:

Historical Note: Mr Smith ran for the Presidency in the early phase of the 20th Century, he lost. 

The gags were not bad from the Candidates, they have decent script writers, as to who WON, if you can win a stand up, that goes to Governor Romney, he was more pointed, and funnier, he played with his wealth.   His line that he could NOW wear his former dinner clothes after so much time on the campaign was fun.  As to President Obama, there was a subtext, one can almost say that he has considered that he might lose.   That would have been a major shock to the Obama psyche.   As expected CNN reviews called the night for Obama while back on Fox the reverse, one can almost write the reactions before people speak.
