not a message that gets the blood flowing

That's partly because, as Dukakis did, Romney is selling himself as a better manager for the federal government, not as the leader of a grand crusade. It's not a message that gets the blood flowing. Yes, he says his campaign is "a battle for the soul of America," but he doesn't always sound as if he means it. （From LA Times, 3/18/2012)

这主要是因为，作为杜卡基斯一样，罗姆尼是卖自己作为联邦政府更好的经理不作为盛大运动的领导者，。这不是一个消息，得到的血液流动。是的，他说，他的竞选是“美国的灵魂之战”，但他并不总是听起来仿佛他的意思。
