 They're the verbal things the president and the candidates do, and they're the nonverbal things that they do. I worked for Al Gore back in 2000. Those sighs were killers for him. As a Bush cut, Cheney 2000 staffer, we appreciate the sign. Absolutely. But then there's the George Bush senior moment where he looked at his watch in the middle of the debate. That's one of the nonverbal things you don't want to do.
