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.

I’d much rather see old stuff like this
He’s running in 2012. I don’t see how he has a shot in that year. Believe a nut is bringing it home this time.
There’s no one more boring than Trump!
Trump is a loathsome narcissist but he makes perfect sense as the GOP candidate and from that perspective he comes off as weirdly frank and honest (frankly delusional and honestly despicable if you will). I’m just going to assume, because we don’t usually get what we want, that the primary will eventually cough up an “electable” candidate, which is someone the village princesses can write nauseating tripe about. Then again, the republican party only makes sense right now as a freakshow. I mean, what is a sensible candidate going to tell people? What’s the angle? Mitt Romney’s been campaigning nonstop for 4 years, and freakshows like Trump can instantly get 10 times the heat in a few weeks.
