C-Span1 will be airing the dinner live at 9pm ET.

In 2008 C-Span, MSNBC, FoxNews aired it - not sure about CNN.
All 'em will probably be airing it live tonight.

petty rich romney must know he's losing because he is turning  the dinner event into a political one by attacking the president and he's getting booed there. Most jokes are supposed to be light and about the person speaking. I'm not sure romney is aware what kind of dinner even this is

This event isn't significant and won't matter to anything.  Nobody is going to vote for one candidate over another with a short speech based on comical remarks.

Are you crazy? Of course it matters. A funny, relaxed candidate is seen as likable, and voters always vote for the more likable candidate.

Romney was too political and used a racial code word at Smith Dinner. Romney didnt use the chance to be jovial and have fun, he used it to attack Obama using racist code words/dog whistle and politics.

The racial dog whistle joke Romney told was that Obama saw all the people in WHITE and he wanted to redistribute everything. Hmmm sounds like a call out to those 'welfare queens.'

Romney attacked Obama on his relationship with the Church, there hardly was a joke with it, he just wanted to mention the contraception controversy.

Romney ended by evoking God and talking about the "rights of the unborn." Thus another political dig in an event that is supposed to be for fun.

These are the examples I can remember now, there were a lot more Romney comments that shocked me. We can see them when the transcript is available. I'm not sure thats what voters wanted.

I think it's because Romney isn't capable of delivering a funny line convincingly... and he knows it.

I just watched the video and honestly found nothing wrong with Romney's performance..

I actually quite enjoyed it.

[Reds4]

Anyone who saw something wrong with Romney or Obama's speech tonight has very little sense of humor and/or just isn't at all open-minded. I liked both of their speeches.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I take it back... I thought Romney was perfectly fine.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

They both made Cuomo '16 jokes. Huh.

[Cliffy]

Looked pretty funny to me, nothing controversial.
