The middle may be boring, but it is there that practical solutions will be found, and from them our country will derive strength and happiness.

It is worth the boredom to get them.

I don’t think the middle is “boring” at all, and I don’t think that’s the reason for Beck’s popularity. Being reasonable and thoughtful takes a little more work, though, and Beck is offering easy solutions and scapegoats for people who don’t want to be bothered doing that work.
