It doesn't get people too excited, which means most people don't pay much attention let alone vote, but party switches aren't catastrophic, either. Yep--dull is largely good.

Bush "stole" the election and 4 years later he may "win" the election. Usually when people are accused of stealing elections it doesn't turn out so good. Jeffords backstabbing switch resulted in people ignoring him. Dems don't trust traitors either. We may not be safe from terrorists but I think we're fairly safe from ourselves. --- Dull means we're not worried about hearing a knock on our door in the middle of night.
