Candiates and there 'Body Language"

It's what they are saying with other parts of their body, not just their mouth. Article below states some hints of interpretation from posture and body movements. (linked in title)

..... a system called Laban Movement Analysis can also explain what many American voters register only subconsciously when watching presidential candidates talk and move.

One example comes from how Sen. McCain and Sen. Obama take different approaches to gesturing. McCain uses directional gestures that suggest bridging a gap, while Obama's shaping gestures that suggest accommodation, the analysts say.


McCain also sometimes adopts a right-left style of walking where he shifts his weight - not unlike a cowboy swagger if taken to extremes, Studd noted. That contrasts with Obama's more centered movement where he swings the opposite arm with the opposite leg.


Obama's free flow approach may have its advantages, especially when it comes to public appearances where the candidates face hard questions.


"John McCain is ill at ease a lot, and Obama is rarely ill at ease although he's put on the spot," Bradley said. "John McCain sometimes looks like he's looking for the door, so he needs to work on that."


I wonder if they can tell who I'm voting for by my body language....
