McCain prides himself on his humor and "quick wit" but it looks like Barack Obama is giving him a run for his money in the laughs department. He's increasingly turning to humor to blunt the McCain attacks and it's playing well. Here he jokes with the crowd about gas prices and the Bush Administration (as if that's funny).Barack Obama:John McCain started running an ad yesterday saying the Washington is "broken." No kidding.
