...boring or stiff, and voters chose the man (Bill Clinton, George W. Bush) who could convincingly play the good ol' boy with southern or Southwest charm. John McCain, who'd been so funny and sunny with his press gang on the Straight Talk Express, turned crotchety in the general campaign and lost to another Harvard smoothie.
