In the first video John Edwards does a lot of head shakes and shrugs, especially when he is referring to his wife, Elizabeth. You already pointed these things out already but just wanted to reiterate. When he is speaking about his wife, they are all positive things: "I love her, will do anything for her..." "She is completely committed to the cause" "I've been in love with the same woman for 30+years" These statements are all usually accompanied by shoulder shrugs (meaning "I don't know") and shaking of the head ("no") which definitely are hot spots: where the verbals contradict his nonverbal actions. Good observations Andrew.

Also, the way he words his statement distances himself from the situation ever so slightly.... he'd welcome participating, yeah as long as he could administer it on someone else. 1:02 ever so slight curling of the left corner lip revealing his contempt, head still shaking no as he states "love to see it happen" check out how to apply some of these techniques to commercial negotiation http://bit.ly/bWZ6N1 Two more observations, this time on the second video, I only watched the first minute:

Here's what I saw: 0:42 sec, Watch JE shake his head "No" and shrug with his rt. hand as he tells the Interviewer he "loves his wife" 1:39 this time with a shoulder shrug as he denies publicly his affair 3:10 watch as he is listening to the question about his affair as his face morphs into a subtle angry expression 3:24 a full emblematic shrug as he responds "I don't respond to these lies", I love the irony of his response. 5:06 JE shifts in his seat to get comfy displaying is obvious discomfort as the stress increases 5:07 theres a subtle mix of emotions that is difficult to distinguish but it looks like a hint of anger before he basically says he doesn't want to answer the question. I had to stop there as I ran out of time. Who else can spot more signs of deceptions or discomfort? I didn’t get a chance to go through the entirety of both videos. Here’s what I saw:
