I'm an aspie, so I usually don't notice or give much credence to things like demeanor or tone of voice. Content is everything. Romney spoke with confidence, but half the things he said made me wonder what world he's been living in for the last twenty years. It's like there's an alternate universe that American conservatives just pop out of every time election season comes around, where the Cold War is still on, Europe is a vassal state to the USA, and the Middle East is absolutely jam packed with jihadists.
