I always like this kind of thing in politics. Humor and self-deprecation are especially important so that a politician does not get too high an opinion of himself. In a certain sense, we are after all supposed to be cut from the same cloth.
Surprisingly Romney overall did better than Obama, whose stilted delivery somewhat muted the full force of the lines. Romney best lines were aimed at President Obama. A sample:
And by the way in — in the spirit of Sesame Street, the president’s remarks tonight are brought to you but the letter ‘O’ and the number $16 trillion.

Campaigns can be grueling, exhausting. President Obama and are each very lucky to have one person who is always in our corner, someone who we can lean on, and someone who is a comforting presence. Without whom, we wouldn’t be able to go another day. I have my beautiful wife Ann, he has Bill Clinton.
Good stuff.
