It’s true. Body language counts. Even in the US Presidential elections.
CNN writes of the “for the first time ever debates” held recently on YouTube . This was to help viewers decide their choice for the Democratic Party’s candidate for the US Presidential election.
Sen. Hillary Clinton was said to have made the most positive impression based on her body language.
Many years ago, as a kid, I read about the Kennedy-Nixon debates in 1960. There was no TV in India then. We read that one of the most important reasons for Kennedy’s winning was his positive use of body language. He came out as being confident of the future and a go-getter. He demonstrated this when he was elected the President soon after. Nixon came out to be more cagey, which was proved by subsequent events when he became the President many years later.
