Her movements were carefully choreographed and reminded me a lot of old film of Eva Peron. She kept doing a nervous twiddle with her hands, realize it, and put them down behind the podium. She was leaning a bit back instead of forward, toward the audience.

The whole impression was of one who had been heavily coached and was trying her best to give a convincing performance despite her nervousness.

Leaning away from the audience, though, gave her away a bit. She doesn't think she's an average SAHM any more than we do.

Then there was the golf clapping for subsequent speakers.
