Kate Tur says there was a speech first draft done by an outside contractor.

It bore no resemblance to the speech delivered last night. She says they are still trying to find out who the contractor was.

(note: the foregoing was not a joke. She said this at 1704 EDT live on MSNBC's MTP Daily. The rest is my take on things.)

I can tell her. It was the small storefront ghostwriting firm of Cut and Paste.

that it's a pair of well-known, respected, and frequently used Republican speech writers. Chuck Todd mentioned them by name, and his panel (including Hugh Hewitt) knew who they were.

One may have been Matthew Scully.
