The dinner is an event that political candidates love to participate in for selfish reasons. The photo opportunities and how they can steer votes is a major reason for accepting an invitation.
Both candidate spoke and exchanged one liners which were hilarious. I personally enjoyed Romney's joke about Biden laughing at anything and "In the spirit of Sesame Street, the president’s remarks tonight are brought to you by the letter O and the number $16 trillion.” Obama also made a good one when he said, "Please take your seats, or else Clint Eastwood will yell at them."
A recent gallop poll showed Romney leading Obama. Apparently, the second debate helped Romney. I think Romney's witt has showed a side of him many Americans are not used to seeing due to the bias in the media which he too joked about.
