I have heard Romney on the radio a few times, and it sure sounds like he is trying to sound like Reagan. Romney has the whispery thing down. And he uses the "Well" a lot too.

If Reagan is what he's aiming for, Romney is a bad actor.

(14,881 posts)so unbelievably stiff, thoroughly disingenuous, and entirely clueless.
Too bad his dad didn't invent the clamshell hamburger styrofoam container, or anything, like Huntsman.
He's even more stiff.

Mittens is a phony. And can't relate to normal people. He's a pompous stuck up rich guy.

I knew he was a lying piece of shit first time I heard him.
Don't think I ever noticed the charm either.

(1 post)I cannot stand to hear Romney's little boy, "I wouldn't harm a flea voice." It is particularly noticeable when he is dissembling but underneath he is seething. I finally realized that he thinks he sounds like Reagan. Reagan spoke by holding back on what he could easily have projected in his voice. Thus lulling some of his listeners into mistaking his acting for empathy and intimacy with them. Romney isn't holding back his supposedly powerful voice, he is working extremely hard to keep up his front. This is partly why he cannot connect with the frothing at the mouth Obama haters.
