Hm, their actions seem to suggest a different state of affairs, though.
Their problem is that all of them have their kooky points. They're not boring enough, as it were. Giuliani has his . . . colourful past; Romney has the dog thing (and, if you're Andrew Sullivan, the Mormon thing); and McCain . . . well, is McCain even a real candidate anymore?
I was about to say there's a fine line between gravitas and boring, but it's actually a big overlap. Cheney did well against Lieberman by returning his zings with humor. Boring is a bigger kiss of death than grating.

I don't know. You know, it's like, well, that what it, I don't know, so...
I though Andrew Sullivan reported rumors that he had a "colorful and far-ranging" sex life!
Well, maybe that's boring.
Aren't we really just throwing everything at him to see what sticks?
