Romneyis out of the gate at the debate with enormous energy. His gestures are high and what I call in thevictory range of the body that's above the heart. He was hopeful and veryconfident. I did not like how he handled the rules over talking, raising hisvoice, ignoring the rules and the way he kind of smirked.
Obamaand his gestures are very decisive, close to his heart which says he trulyfeels what he is saying. I would likehis gestures to be higher and show more confidence. Also seeing here Romneygetting that superior look, lifting his chin high that shows superiority. Hegestures after he speaks. This is thefirst time I've seen him gesture as he speaks or before. He's highly energetic never seen him quitelike this before. He is having a goodtime. This is apparent from the liveliness and the energy in his voice.
Obamais very calm. His voice level has regainedthat wonderful, deep resonance that I have missed hearing in his voice at theDemocratic Convention. It's interestingthat Obama is using a pen to gesture to make his points. You can tell he's getting really angry atRomney. He's getting a very tight lip,downward smile. Obama is giving a sour pursed lip facial expression that shows he finds Romney's rule breaking very distasteful. Malley is doing a fake grin and he's lookingtotally away from Romney trying to get back the floor.
Romneyis highly energetic. He is giving more gestures and more animation than I haveever seen. High energy at the start of the debates that gives a positiveprimacy effect (persuasion term for first impression.)
Obama’sgestures are small, restrained and close to his heart at the beginning of thedebates. I would like his gestures to be smoother and larger and sweepupwards so he would appear more confident.
AsObama talks about OBAMA Care his voice becomes more powerful again. The fuelfor that energy is anger. That could work for him. A debater who shows controlledanger can communicate a powerful alpha presence to the television audience. Ourlimbic brain will follow the most powerful debater.
NowRomney is interrupting continuing to talk past his time. This is clear responseto Obama sounding powerful. Romney has to win each round. His "over-talking" willappeal to the emotional viewer and seem rude and overbearing to the logicalviewer.
PresidentObama's nonverbal response to this is great. He stays back and stands tall. Hedoes not lean in and try to compete. He stays presidential.
Ohnow Obama is getting mad as Romney discusses loans. He gives a sour, lemon mouth to Romney.
Iam reading an overall excitement in Romney. He is energized by the fight.
Oh thisis good. He is talking about how he spoke this way when he was running foroffice four years ago. That makes the viewer see Romney’s energyand optimism seem naive.
Now Obamais on a roll now he is ignoring the time limits rules. I love the largetrue smile when he was called on it. That smile was great. I want to see him dothat when he says something positive, some action he will take if re-elected.
Obamais talking about board for health care. When Obama Care is fully implementedfinally his gestures move up. He truly feels like Obama Care will work.
Romney’s replacement for Obama care - I still am struck by hisenergy. He seems charged. Highly caffeinated, rapid rushed speaking.
Romneyrubs his eye when Obama calls him on the fact that his health care statement isjust restating the law as it is now. First time in the debates I see Romney isshaken.
Romneyis blinking rapidly and also showing his stress level is high.
Interesting Romney can'tstand being beaten. He ignores the rulesagain and goes into his pat answer. Obama loses his win on that round. Wesee the irritation in his look to the moderator and his tight downward smile andhis shaking of his head no and he looks down
Romney'sblinking rate is increasing.
Obamaneeds to be very careful he keeps looking down. I know it is to stay containedand not showing his anger. But, that downward head can appear like he hishanging his head in shame, showing a lack of power.
Romney’senergy comes up as he talks about teachers. He is racing again. Did he get aquadruple expresso at Starbucks? This may work against his credibility. Ahhh it does bring it down when compared withObama’s response. Obama has the wonderful power of the pause.
Hespeaks with confidence here.
Romneydoes a good job with his response. Hedoes pause when he says his numbers. Romney’s shoulders go forward and hischest poofs up. He loves to go on theattack.
Romneyat his close still has a lot of energy but I would've coached him to be alittle bit slower and a little bit more purposeful. I would have advised him ofthe power of the pause.
Obamadidn't look at the camera in the eye in the audience long enough in his close.His head came down. He looked defeated.
Romneyoverall was aggressive but nonverbally won the debate on charisma as I discussin my new book "SNAP: Making the Mostof First Impressions, Body Language and Charisma.”
Did yousee the big smile on Romney’s face as the debate ended? He felt he won.Interesting Romney was last to leave the podium and the stage. He knows how tolook powerful.
