Politics Will Cain on CNN: Romney’s speeches are getting better

While contributing to CNN‘s Nevada GOP caucuses coverage Saturday night The Blaze’s Will Cain pointed out that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has made strides on the stump. Cain notes that the former Massachusetts governor seems to have the ability to identify where his campaign is weakest, and then incrementally improve. Cain discussed with Erik Erikson of Redstate and others on CNN that Romney is improving on his speeches from week to week. As the front-runner now appears to be weakest in sit-down interviews, Cain speculates that this could change soon as well:

 

Lets take a look at Romney’s progression on the stump.

A visibly younger Romney speaking, ironically about an interaction between future GOP presidential opponent Herman Cain and then-President Bill Clinton, at an event during his 1994 campaign for Senate in Massachusetts:

Fanning imaginary flames (0:30-0:33) and likely forgetting his lines at (0:36)

Romney’s perhaps overly jubilant 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics Opening Speech:

Lots of looking down at his notes and a Romney voice that we’re perhaps not used to.

Speaking in Michigan during his 2008 campaign for President:

Definitely improved, but hands in pockets and “200 people, announced, lay off, for those people, just today” (0:26).

The notorious “corporations are people my friend” claim from Romney on the stump in Iowa this past summer (albeit while responding to a heckler):

 

And finally, Romney last night:

Confident and clean.

I see a definite improvement, do you?

    Mitt was not sent from the same place BHO was, and he doesn’t want to do to the United States what BHO/Soros/m.Brotherhood wants to do.

    His speeches might be getting better, but who the crap cares. He’s not a conservative, period. I would like any Romney-supporter to defend Romneycare, please. Don’t avoid it. Defend it. Describe it. Tell me how a mandate at state level is not a mandate on a citizen? It’s a mindset. I don’t care if it was at the state level, which is the excuse he gives. It’s his mindset. Obamacare is going to send this nation off a cliff, and Romney will not fight for repeal. Congress must repeal, and a President must have it strongly in his mindset to lead the repeal effort and sign it when it gets to his desk. Romney ran in 1994 as an Progressive Independent. He now wants automatic increases in federal minimum wage. He is NOT conservative, and is the least conservative of those remaining, economically-speaking. I do not care that his speeches are getting better. Better how? Obama’s speeches are supposed to be so awesome, but what they are is lovely oration of Socialist crap.

    A friend of mine organized a fundraiser lunch for Romney back in the ‘08 campaign and invited me to attend. Without the cameras rolling, Romney is warm, personable, and very at ease in front of a crowd. He took charge of the room and made compelling points as to why he should be the nominee then opened the floor for questions. He answered the questions thoroughly with none of the typical politician’s penchant for changing the subject and had great ideas. When I watch him on TV I feel like the Romney I saw in person doesn’t truly come across. My theory is he struggles with the cameras rolling–they cause him to freeze up. I think we can see through this progression of clips that he’s getting more comfortable, but he‘s still got a ways to go before he’ll feel as comfortable on camera as he does off.

    I think the longer the primaries go on, the better he‘ll get and the more comfortable he’ll be heading into the general election.
