I have noticed that when he's not speaking, John McCain is constantly twisting & fiddling with his wedding ring while waiting to speak. I've found a few articles/YouTube video's suggesting it's as he's ogling Palin's rear and/or chest (to me, in the video, he looks to be slightly behind Palin) I don't want to debate that part, I could care less actually, but I am very interested in what the whole ring twisting thing means as far as body language or subconscious goings on.
I just watched Palin and McCain speak in Virginia and as he was listening to Palin speak & waiting for his turn he went at that ring like crazy (I did not observe him looking at her butt or anything, but then again, I was reading the forums!   )
If it's a habitual thing, fine, but it still has some symbolic/subconscious meaning.
Would love to hear any opinions.
I did study some body language in Po-po school, but that was more lie detection in the field stuff.
I will state for the record that I did not notice McCain fiddling with his ring before Palin showed up. It could be that I didn't pay close enough attention.
Oh and does him calling her (Palin) his 'SoulMate' figure into his whole body language/subconscious/what's-goin'-on-in-his-noggin' thing?

I noticed him doing it long ago.  I also notice other men doing it all the time.  It's a sign of nerves, nothing more.

I am not a man... but I know nerves are the reason I do it....

[crtDzyn]

Probably just a habit... I bite my nails a lot too, nervous or not.... dirty habit I need to stop lol

I agree the ring thing is out of a nervous habit but his wandering eye is hilarious, I mean I watched this video, he was eying her rear end big time, and when he could he eyed her top too.  Palin did catch him and did react but only for a few seconds to it.  Lets just say if looks could kill McCain would of been a dead man .

  If I was McCain, and Won the election.  Man I'd have her prancing around the oval office in little outfits.  I'd make Clinton look like a priest

Great now you got the whole "I did not have sex with that woman" thing going on in my head, bad hai, berets, cigars, dna on a dress.

What about baseball players who scratch their crotch..I wonder what signal they're sending...

To me it looks like he was reading what she was saying. As for the fiddling, everybody does it I'm sure. I mess with my hands so much I got a spinner ring just so I could play with that instead.
