Obama and McCain at the Al Smith Dinner

It's pretty remarkable when two candidates who pretty much hate each others' guts on the campaign trail can shift gears and mutually appear together at a charity event. Senators Obama and McCain each gave "keynote-type" addresses at the Al Smith charity dinner in New York, and I was pretty impressed. McCain was a tad more raucous than Obama was, but that's OK...Obama gave a very subtle and moving bit about Tim Russert at one point, and McCain took the moral high ground by catching Obama a tad by surprise when saying "I can't wish him luck, but I wish him well." Great stuff.
