As for 88, I think Bush was generally regarded as a boring candidate, but so was Dukakis.
-
Don't worry, if Hillary wins we're not going to retroactively say she was the more exciting candidate. It will be a genuine break from trend

Excitement indicator wins again.

When was the last time the obviously more boring candidate had a clear win? 1916? idk

Hughes was boring to the extreme. Wilson was a progressive.

yeah I was just kind of throwing out that date out of dislike for Wilson and because I didn't feel like going back farther
-
Wait, I think I know the answer: 1908: Taft beats William Jennings Bryan
