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
