Al Smith (Wikipedia) was one of the good guys in New York politics. In his honor, an annual dinner (it's a fundraiser for Catholic Charities) is held and since 1960, it has been one of the major stopping points for the Presidential Campaign.
Yesterday (Thursday, October 16th) was this years event and the keynote speakers were John McCain and Barrack Obama.
If only the Campaigns themselves were executed with as much class and humor.
It would make Politics much more interesting to follow...
Here is the website for the Al Smith Foundation.
