McCain vs. Obama
October 2008
In the great tradition of the Al Smith Foundation Dinner: the wit wisdom,
warmth and wile of Barack Obama and John McCain (not to mention Joe the
Plumber) in their classic joust for the Presidency. It's a living tribute to
what President Obama called "something bigger and more lasting than
a political party... Before Al Smith was a candidate who made history, he
was a man who made a difference— a man who fought for many years to give
Americans nothing more than fair shake and a chance to succeed. He touched
the lives of millions as a result."
