It's not like I can be thinking too consciously about it. I learned not to keep them in my pockets and simply went with my hands to my side. Feels weird but doesn't look as weird as I felt.Matt McWilliamshttp://www.mattmcwilliams.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988392.post-65292103351551033012012-10-15T10:34:38.964-06:002012-10-15T10:34:38.964-06:00Hah!

Reminds me of the scene from the Adjustment Bureau where they analyzed the appropriate shoe scuff amount (just watched that again this weekend). :)<br /><br /><br />If I was standing next to the governor, I might go with hands in the pockets also, hoping for the "humble" approach. But then again, I don't know much about politics.Luke Stokeshttp://bestoked.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988392.post-55365143099364235342012-10-15T10:30:34.543-06:002012-10-15T10:30:34.543-06:00Yes we did go to Bethel for a while. Maybe that is...Yes we did go to Bethel for a while. Maybe that is how.<br /><br /><br />You are right about the folded arms. In fact the reverse order of what to do with your hands is:<br /><br /><br />1. Folded arms - defiant, hostile, angry<br />2. Behind back - hiding something<br />3. In pockets - humble, weak, nervous, unsure<br />4. Folded in front - "hi, this is my crotch," stubborn, bored<br /><br /><br />and so on.Matt McWilliamshttp://www.mattmcwilliams.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988392.post-62319379168669364252012-10-15T10:14:22.250-06:002012-10-15T10:14:22.250-06:00No, this is his first time running for office. Did...No, this is his first time running for office. Did you ever attend Bethel?<br /><br /><br />I think the shirt was a soft blue and my iPhone camera did it a disservice. As for the hands in the pockets, I guess it's better than folded arms, right? I wonder what the correct posture would be when standing next to the governor.<br /><br /><br />Ben and a Elizabeth have a good amount of experience having helped in some campaigns in Washington. Crazy thing about being in the "public eye" is it only takes one mistake to look clueless. :)<br /><br /><br />Thanks for the comment, Matt.

Has he run before?<br /><br /><br />Someone should tell him, though, that white shirt and bone colored pants don't go together :) And no hands in the pockets.<br /><br /><br />OK, that's all I managed to get out of the picture LOL. (I studied political campaign management for a few years so it's still ingrained in me...like a nervous twitch.)Matt McWilliamshttp://www.mattmcwilliams.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988392.post-33179481004128049992012-10-13T21:20:09.435-06:002012-10-13T21:20:09.435-06:00Thanks for commenting, Henry. :)

If our country were run by the people who are upstanding blue and white collar citizens to make decisions that should impact other people of the same.henryrendlemanhttp://twitter.com/henryrendlemannoreply@blogger.com
