He really looks honest. I am convinced.
I think that it is the deliberate amateurishness, awkwardness that makes this speech so convincing. I think that Mr. Nixon was not un-prepared, but that he prepared his un-preparedness.
"God must have loved the common people, he made so many of them." Even I can remember this line but Nixon has to read the last half.

"Old fashioned Republican cloth coat." Wow, those were the days, when the Republicans were the party of the working class, and not the fabulously wealthy and powerful.
