2. Romney is definitely strung out...under EXTREME stress.

If you listen to anything he says now, and the cadence and timbre of his voice as MA governor, there is a distinct and noticeable difference. He sounds...FRANTIC now. You can hear the stress and distraction in his tone.

When he was running for MA Gov, he had the high ground, because MA is very slow to elect women, and Shannon O'Brien didn't get enough help and her campaign was fraught with organizational and motivational problems. He played to the Indie vote and promised everyone that he'd bring businesses to the shitty areas of the state that are stagnating. He didn't deliver, of course, but he played that card with great success and got the gig. He knew he could bullshit people once, and he did just that--if he'd run for reelection he might have had that frantic tone in his voice.
