I do agree that body language is a big thing. For some reason, they enjoy cutting to a shot of him whenever he is doing something awkward. When RP is answering questions however, his body language is great: it is genuine, and it goes along with what he is saying, in other-words he isn't lying. Yes, slouching also isn't a good thing, it can give a bad impression, but he is old.. Even though he is better shape than some people half his age.
I have noticed that Perry does like to use his hands a lot, too. I need to observe him more.. I have not really been paying attention to Romney.
Bachmann uses her hands when making points, however it looks rehearsed and it is the same motion that is being repeated. I am certain that they have been schooled on the body language that should be portrayed on stage. Bachmann has messed up sometimes with her body language, it is not something you can easily control. For example, on one of the issues she was nervously twiddling her fingers. I forgot exactly what she was saying, but I caught her doing that. Everything means something in body language: From holding your hands out with your palms facing up, or holding your hands out with your palms facing down, to how 'open' your hands are, or if they are slightly clenched, going from constantly using your hands to not using them at all while speaking. Everything means something.
If I could observe their faces more up close, I would be able to catch microexpressions. Microexpressions you cannot control at all, this would be able to reveal a lot.

As for RP's clothes.. Personally, I do not judge based on how 'stylish', I believe that's the term, he is. What matters to me is what he says and how he articulates it. Although, I do understand how some people are quite shallow when it comes to this..
