That’s the most accurate assessment of Romney that I’ve seen on here. I cannot site doctrinal problems with Romney ... he is simply so manufactured and rehearsed that I get the feeling he’s telling me what I want to hear, rather than what he actually believes.

You mean like the difference between a professional business presentation and the off-the-cuff commentary by some sluff off the street? Yeah, one looks much more polished, and yeah, I might believe the bum more.

Not exactly ... but sort of. When Fred or Rudy speak — it sounds like they’re speaking extemporaneously. They’re speaking from the mind/heart and laying out their opinions ... thus, it comes off as genuine — even if I may disagree with their particular stance.

When Mitt speaks, he sounds like he’s reading a position paper off of a cue card. It doesn’t sound extemporaneous — it sounds over-rehearsed. It comes off like a prepared statement — like he’s blowing smoke, telling the GOP what they want to hear, manipulating or supressing his actual opinions. It just doesn’t sound genuine.
