You know things are looking bleak when you start arguing for the virtues of boring men. I’d actually change that up a bit and argue the virtues of men (and women) who have a passing acquaintance with reality. So, right away, candidates like Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, and Donald Trump could be excluded. It is interesting that Romney didn’t make the Spectator’s cut for good/boring. Is he too flashy or too phony? And what about Jon Huntsman? They may be Mormons, but they’ve got much better hair than Daniels and Pawlenty.
