Democratic candidate John Kerry was more presidential in his demeanour than incumbent George W Bush during their first debate on Thursday, a US body language expert says.
Patti Wood, an Atlanta-based consultant, told BBC News Online that Mr Kerry appeared more respectful and in control.
Mr Bush sounded arrogant and unable to control his emotions, especially in the latter part of the debate, she contends.
However, Ms Wood says, Mr Bush at times radiated warmth in a way that Mr Kerry could not emulate.
