Have you noticed that Romney's voice has changed

His voice sounds almost creepy now. Is he trying to sound like Ronald Reagan or maybe Bush?

He didn't succeed at all. But that funny frozen smile, and the tilt of the head... how pathetic.

Creepy!

It sounds oily like he's trying to force pleasantness and charm. And the way he shakes his head, smiles, and mugs while forcing that unctuous voice out of his throat reminds me of a giddy mortician trying to close a sale on an embalming. His entire demeanor gives me the willies.

But whatever it is, it's working.

He's been able to improve his favorability ratings in recent polls, so they seem to be coaching him well.

Like he has in the past, eg.

'Corporations are people'

'I like being able to fire people'

'I'm not concerned about the very poor'
