Obama & Romney Crack Jokes At Al Smith Dinner: Who Is Funnier? (VIDEO/POLL)

POLL: Who Is Funnier?
|

President Obama and Governor Romney spoke one after the other at the annual Al Smith Dinner on Thursday night in New York City, and in keeping with the tradition of the fundraising event, their remarks were largely jokes. Both men delivered their "sets" to peals of laughter from the assembled guests, so we thought this was the perfect opportunity to settle, once and for all, who is the funniest candidate.

In the above video, we've cut together all the jokes from the two speeches for your careful scrutiny. Take a look, analyze away, and then vote in our poll below. Finally, explain your vote in the comments. You're going to have to vote for one of them for real in less than a few weeks anyway, so you might as well practice.
