While I would like to see any and all speeches and their various revisions just to see who all is involved with making them, but let's be blunt. The speeches mean nothing about a candidate's views - there are probably a dozen plus people who contribute talking points to the speeches, and it's run by dozens of people and probably even a focus group or two.

What Romney, Ryan, etc. say in front of a microphone when giving a speech has been processed and reprocessed many times by many people before they ever open their mouth. This isn't the days of Lincoln when he wrote his own speeches and his focus group was himself. What you hear in a speech is what they want you to hear, not necessarily what they think.

If somebody wants to know how a candidate will govern, it's best to look at their actual records, not what a dozen staff members and speech writers ran past focus groups.
