Post 3 Republican Convention

I watched the Republican Convention and saw Ann Romney speak. She was a very smiley, optimistic individual and really wanted to appeal to the women of America. I liked how she spoke a lot about her husband when they met and how humble he is when he helps others but does not like to brag. I think that she talked a little too long about them being a "normal" family, even though it is important to mention that somewhere in her speech. This is the second time I have ever watched the conventions, and I always think about the physical aspect of seeing the candidates. I remember learning about it in psychology, where the first presidential debate was on the TV and people voted for the underdog because he was better looking and presented himself better. I think it is interesting that the physical part of it had a big impact on the vote between Kennedy and Nixon. If I were on TV doing a debate I would be a nervous wreck! Thankfully, now all the candidates and the people who work for/ with them, have almost perfected their speech- giving mannerisms. This is a way to make sure that the speeches are no reason for a candidate not to win.
