  Vegas Live: Obama Makes a Funny

  Obama gets the first (and probably the last) sincere laugh of the the night.

  A moderator asks: Is there a history of Hispanics not voting for black candidates?

  "Not in Illinois," says Obama. "They voted for me."

   It gets laughs, but it also serves a purpose: Reminding Latino voters that it's OK to vote for him.
