Has anyone watched the debate with the sound off to study the body language? [View all]

Mitt Romney was intentionally trying to invade Obama's space and just stare him down. And Obama held his ground, and gave back a little something, something.

But here's the thing, for the rest of us in the real world, this intimidation tactic comes in a multiple of ways. Though usually, what Mitt tried to do as one person, we have to deal with in packs. As a pack, they twist the truth and come at you in numbers, undermining your credibility so that no one will listen.

So, to see it in a presidential debate, it just sends shivers up my spine.

On the bright side, if that's the only game they have against Obama, from this point on it will make them look foolish.
