On Thursday, President Obama & Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will give keynote speeches at the 67th Annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in New York City. The fundraiser, held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, will offer a light-hearted evening for the candidates.
Past speakers at the dinner include politicians, journalists, and presidential candidates including former Pres. George H. W. Bush & Michael Dukakis in 1988; Al Gore & Jack Kemp in 1996; and Pres. Obama and then-Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain in 2008.
Founded in 1946 by Francis Cardinal Spellman, the Foundation honors the memory of Alfred E. Smith who died in in 1944. Smith was a four-time governor of the state of New York and former presidential candidate.

Besides choosing Sarah, this was the high point of McCain’s 2008 campaign. He, with his writer’s help, skewered The One.

I think Mitt will do great. I’ve heard and seen video of a few of the more light-hearted moments like when he say’s to Ann about her saying she’d never go through this again, and he reminds her she says that after each of their sons were born . . . or when he wanted to take her home after the party when they were 16 . . . and quickly changes it to “her” home.
I’ll only be watching the Romney portion.

One more opportunity for Obie to act like an @$$. I am sure he won't disappoint and yet he always disappoints.
Wow, that was deep.

You see Chris Matthews behind Romney. He looks like he has a major hangover already.
Some guy who looks like Sydney Greenstreet is right next to him.
