“I am about to start countin’”
“I Wave At God, He Waves Back”
What Michele Bachmann says without saying She used arm and hand gestures that were sweeping and commanded space. Bachmann used a popular political hand gesture to emphasize her main points.
She squeezed her fingers against their thumbs to make an “ok” type of gesture, and then rhythmically kept a beat as they spoke. This “finger tip touch” sends an image of authority but not aggression.
Add to that Bachmann’s gestures with open palms, which signaled candor and inclusion, and her smile. Research from Duke University proves that we like and remember those who smile at us, though using such cues deliberately but moderately is one of the most difficult balances for candidates to strike.
Bachmann made up for her smaller physical stature by wearing high heels, standing tall and keeping her shoulders back. Bachmann’s only body language error may have been a cosmetic one: her decision to wear false eyelashes. Researchers who analyze politicians’ blink rate find that fast blinkers rarely win elections.
