Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 10/18/2012 | Craig Newman

[Clint N. Suhks]

He killed it!

[spokeshave]

...and delivered with charm and panache

Another myth about Mitt...

If Steve Martin ever needs a sidekick I got your Mitt right here.

The only President that became a big time comedian.

[Col Frank Slade]

An interesting comparison would be to see how many hits the Romney Al Smith video gets on YouTube vs Obama’s remarks.

Could be quite revealing. ...

[RoosterRedux]

So far it’s 81,000+ hits for Romney and 1,600+ for Obama.

The jokes have Dennis’s signature all over them.

This should be Romney’s campaign speech. This is priceless!

For CNN’s raw video, Zero is getting more views than Romney. Romney had the best zingers.

"Romney will go in for the final kill at the next debate" I sure hope you're right - with that jerk Shieffer running things, it might be tough, but he's got to pound Benghazi, and he's got to work in Fast & Furious, and most importantly he's got to tie them together: one F-up is bad; two starts to look like a pattern. And they tie together easily in the following ways - each involves a cover-up (continual stalling, evasion, calls for patience during "investigations"); each involves loss of life (and Mitt needs to emphasize the *scores* of dead Mexicans lost due to the regime's stupidity); and each is characterized by a total lack of accountability (Holder and Napolitano didn't pay any price for F&F; Hilary and Intelligence haven't paid any price for Libya). If he handles those issues adroitly, he can bury BO, who may soil himself in the process of getting slammed in public.

[Col Frank Slade]

Not surprising, although CNN has more Obama hits...also not surprising.

[Clint N. Suhks]

0bama stunk it up! If they aren’t playing Romney’s jokes they are losing
market share.

Romney was the funniest comedy routine I’ve seen in I don’t know how long. I
haven’t burst out laughing so hard so many times since I can remember.

CNN are idiots.

[Clint N. Suhks]

OMG look how many more Romney videos and views he has than 0bama at your link!

[RoosterRedux]

I just did a quick tally of all hits and it appears that Romney has 285,000+ and Obama has 61,000+.

[RoosterRedux]

Oops, make that 51,000+ for Obama.

[ETL]

[Excellence]

That’s a good sign. I was comparing counts from one source, CNN, but there are far more posts of Romney than 0bama.

[Nea Wood]

I don’t think he said “white tie and refinery.” LOL

[goodolemr]

There’s also alot more replies to Mitt’s on mediaite.com rather than Obama’s.

[Batman11]

MR was very funny and very classy. The guy is a pro. Hey Zero, isn’t ridicule great! Thanks Saul Alinsky! FUBO!!

[Wife of D28Man]

WOW! Just WOW.

[newzjunkey]

“Dine” was clear to me.
