Expect next American president to be boring

Washington

HERE is a prediction. And trust me. You can take it to the bank: the next American president will be a former governor, with successful experience as an executive who got things done and made government work.

Not the first "X" (woman; Hispanic; Asian; gay) to serve in office, he will probably be quite a conventional politician, who doesn't exude charisma, who isn't a great orator. The kind who doesn't make you stay glued to the television screen. For that you have CSI and the Comedy Channel.
