Who won the Al Smith Dinner?
Katie Couric won the night as more people saw her sitting behind Governor Romney and President Obama while the they delivered their remarks since the time she broadcast her colonoscopy.
Romney was the more presidential of the candidates. He was confident, funny and prepared. The crowd responded accordingly.
Obama joked twice about his performance in the first debate. “Just to make Axlerod sweat,” he said that he was going to prepare for the third debate coming up on Monday night the same way he did for the first. It looked to me that the same Obama who showed up at the first debate also showed up at the Al Smith Dinner.
