One of the recommended ways to overcome "stage fright" when speaking to an audience is, exactly, looking from side to side and avoiding eye contact. It's a way of not acknowledging the presence of a crowd.
On another psychological level, it could be a sign of insincerity--but that's a bit tricky, since politicians are adept at faking "sincerity" by "looking you in the eye" when they speak.
