What I saw were a lot of women with crossed arms, never a good sign when you're trying to woo them, uncrossing those arms to give golf claps on command.

I watch these things with the sound off because I learn more that way. There was nothing to learn about Mitt. He was as stiff as a department store window mannequin.
