Noticed that in the other debates, too.
Also noticed that when Romney is in a group of voters, there is a lot of distance around him, while the Pres. gets in close and touches and hugs people.
Then there is the famous different shots of holding a baby. I have seen at least 3 pics of Romney holding a kid at arm's length, while babies in Obama's arms get all mellow and relaxed.
