There's a certain annoying inevitibility about Romney winning it, what with the way the race is being covered and the polling that's coming out right now. He's just so... ergh.

bland centrality has its own appeal. If you gun for the middle you end up with someone who perhaps lacks conviction but is appealing to middle-of-the-road voters, and hey, what are the Republicans going to do if they're not jazzed about Romney, vote Obama?

Fish-out-of-water candidates, like a Massachusetts Republican like Romney or, say, an Arkansas Democrat like Bill Clinton, is a safe bet for any party if they don't have a candidate with real political clout who can both appeal to the base and play with their fame, clout, or symbolic potential. McCain had clout, Obama had symbolic potential
