Did anyone notice the candidates hugging their spouses after the debate last night? [View all]

When Obama embraced Michelle, it was very sincere and genuine. However, when Romney went to hug his wife, it all seemed rather stiff, awkward - like there really isn't any emotion there.

I've said it all along. Romney has no emotion. The man is either an alien, robot, or sociopath...I'll let you take your pick.
