Was It Me Or Was Mitt Making A Funny Smacking Sound With His Mouth/Lips During The Speech?.....

[global1]

I was getting a little annoyed with it. I was wondering if he's always done this (as I haven't watched him much) or if this was something new at this speech. Was also wondering if there isn't some body language explanation of this - maybe like he's telling lies and his body is outing him.

Am I the only one that noticed that?

1. Yes, others note that when he gets nervous he starts to smack his lips. His sons seem to do it too

2. I heard it, too. Never noticed it before.

3. I think it was a loose coupling in his jaw servo

Probably just needs to be tightened down a bit.

10. I thought his son did the same thing.

Yes, it is like an exclamation mark at the end of a statement.

11. My brother-in-law does this when he needs his medicine.......

but since Mormons don't do drugs, I'll have to go with nerves.

12. I noticed that habit a while back.

It annoys the hell out of me. It can be (but is not always) a sign that the speaker is lying.
