Seriously, what was with Ann's awkward hugging thing at the end of the debate?!

[Iceberg Louie]

Though it's ripe for jokery, any thoughts as to what was actually happening after the debate when Ann had her arms wrapped around Mitt as he scrambled to keep up with the President's crowd-greeting?



Seriously, this is not normal human behavior. Were the Romneybots short circuiting? At one point during the debate, Mitt had a really awkward look on his face, and I thought he was seriously going to have a heart attack or stroke on live TV. As soon as i have time to sift through, I'm going to post that moment; it was disturbing and priceless at the same time.

1. Something's going on there.....I'm not sure what it is but

There's definitely a problem....physical-mental.....too many weird moments between family comments and clip observations

11. Her Mormon underwear was too tight?

13. He was about to FALL OFF the stage ! See Frenchie Cat's thread on the subject. Also, did you

see the way she literally vice-gripped his hand and LED him off-stage?

The video of it is quite alarming. She was clearly panicked. That, plus the pics of his flop-sweat during the debate?

Draw yer own conclusions

2. I really sorry to say this, but Ann just creeps me out!

3. It was very bizarre.

She grabbed him from behind as if she thought he was going to tumble into the audience.

5. it's an old mormon thing....

goes back to polygamous behavior.. dragging men away from sister wives..

[Zambero]

6. Heimlich maneuver perhaps?

Romney had been choking on his words during the previous 90 minutes!

8. No Fan of Ann

I am no fan of Ann. In fact I can barely stand seeing her plastic face. However, she does have MS, and it might be she suddenly felt weak.

9. I think he almost fell of the stage.

There is a whole thread about it:

10. He was greeting people and bending over.

I think she was trying to keep him from falling off the stage while shaking hands.

[nichomachus]

14. Just discharging static from his magic undies

If he gets excited enough, he can shock bystanders.

[JBoy]

15. She's shaking the etch-a-sketch for the next campaign event.

[clydefrand]

16. I hadn't thought about that, but

I did think that his lying was causing him to have a dry mouth. He didn't look healthy.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

19. Yes..

I thought he looked ill throughout he debate. Or over medicated.

edit: spelling

[ladjf]

17. Simply put, she was afraid he was going to fall off of the stage. nt

18. Did Romney have Gas?

It’s funny you said that. I mentioned to my Mother; Romney look like he’s about to have a heart attack, I imagine that look came on his face after the President corrected him about the ship and compared it to the horse analogy. There was other times he looked like he was full of gas and wanted to let one rip, but couldn’t do it on live television.

Romney was sweating a lot and tried to conceal all those emotions he didn’t want us to see, which we did. I think it’s almost impossible to narrow down any one particular emotion Romney had on display, so good luck on finding that face that I saw too.
