1. McCain was a little funnier
I saw shades of the McCain of 2000 in that speech, but only shades.

Obama's humor seemed rather bland and forced.

3. I agree. Obama's humor seemed forced, poor timing.
Doesn't affect my vote, of course (which has already been cast, btw). I'm not voting for comedian-in-chief. But this one I gotta give to McCain.

14. I agree, he did it with more ease
BUT I'll vote for O because I just can't get my hand to EVER click on the name McCain!

2. DONE! Even Obama's humor was Presidential.....
McCain's was jokes from an erratic old man basking one more day in the sun before the curtain closes. :)

7. Agreed, Frenchie!
He seemed so DESPERATE for approval and his delivery (to me) seemed just like the angry tone of his stump speech. And his tangent rant on Keith O was just nasty and uncalled for.

6. There is no doubt in my mind....
...that watching Barack Obama was the FUNNIEST 15 MINUTES OF MY ENTIRE LIFE OR ANYONE ELSE'S LIFE.

8. Not voting in that. Both were funny.
In fact, I kept thinking that if McCain would have run his election with *that* personality (and not picked Palin), this election would have been much closer.

9. Me too.
They were both a riot.

Rachel played the speeches on the radio yesterday and when Barack was speaking you could hear McCain just roaring with laughter.

That had to have felt good for both of them.

Hey, well it is the only thing McCain is winning at (for the moment), but we will take care of it!

13. Doesn't have to do with my politics
Edited on Sat Oct-18-08 01:18 PM by nam78_two
I honestly thought Obama was funnier. Oddly phrased choices-poll seems to assume everyone found McCain funnier which is a subjective thing.

16. McCain is funnier!

:hide:

His whole campaign is a total joke... One screw-up after another!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I will, however, vote for Obama in this poll just because I could *never* click on McCain's name for anything!

17. McCain was actually funny at times
I like him as a stand up comic more than I do as a senator or presidential candidate, at least.

But I don't like him enough to vote for him, even in this poll.
