you both look so dashing in tails. or as you call it, governor, business casual. dana: that was al smith, host of the annual al smith dinner taking place in new york city. last night, both candidates were in town to be part of it. for those who think romney is dull and doesn t have a sense of humor, take a look at this. al, you are right. campaign requires wardrobe changes. jeans in morning, sports coat for dinner and relax to wear what ann and i wear around the house. i was hoping that the president would bring joe biden along this evening. because he will laugh at anything. in the spirit of ses me street sesame street the president s remarks are brought to you by the letter o and the number
16 trillion. president put a stamp on relations with the church. there have been awkward moments. the president pulled pope benedict aside to share advice how to deal with his critics. look, holy father, whatever the problem, is just blame it on pope john paul ii. dana: both of the speeches for romney and president obama were run live last night on hannity. we were cracking up. did you like it? kimberly: i loved it. very entertaining. both were great. fun to see them where they weren t adversarial. both are feeling loose after the rumble, showdown. dana: speeches are not easy to give. bob: but the jokes were set up for the last month-and-a-half. they get the writers and comedians. hard to have a bad speech. like convention. davi dana: i don t know, if it falls flat in comedy it can be bad. greg: you know that story. it was weird to see so many
vehement pro-choicers at a catholic event yucking it up. this is the belly laugh. mitt was harsh on obama. self-deprecation is something that helps them because they have so much reaction. this is the third time governor romney and i met recently. some of you may have noticed i had more energy in the second debate. i felt well rested after the nice long nap i had in the first debate. i particularly want to apologize to chris matthews. four years ago i gave him a thrill up his leg. this time around i gave him a stroke. actually, mitt is his middle name. i wish i could use my middle name.
in the growing survey he has today. there is one night of the the night of the debate. i m waiting to see what it look like at the next six days. dana: at what point do you think they will write a story about mitt romney peaked too early and obama making a comeback? anybody? bob: i think romney will make mistakes. eric: the debate monday night. the first friday in november. the october jobless numbers. the last two major things. if romney is below the radar dana: if they take any advice from me don t go on the comedy programs. kimberly: from now until the election. i think romney is peaking at the right time. he has momentum.
speech had everybody laughing out loud you don t hear that many comedians make jokes about obama. first time he was needled. no one is listening to me at the table. can we look at bob s pictures? kimberly: they don t have it. they got it. eric: the funniest line is when mitt romney said main stream media will report and say obama gets along with catholics and romney dines with rich people. bob: that is not the picture. dana: quickly on the rasmussen poll. you talked to democrats today. how are they feeling? bob: not well. you are outside the margin of error, which means that romney is ahead. i don t think he is ahead by seven points.
