Teaching isn't your thing.
You were a B+ math student in college which means you are the king or queen of political science methods.
Go for a top ranked R1 where there is almost no teaching. Accept nothing less.
Yes, avoid teaching. Just take a job at a top R1. Problem solved. It isn't that complicated.
Did New Mexico have a CP search this year?
Harvard (1): SK (Yale, AP)
Princeton (1): TP (U Arizona, PL)
UC Berkeley (1): LJ (HBS)
UC D@vis (1): AK (UWEC, PT/PL)
University of Washington: (1) SD (New Mexico, CP)
Also no SD at UW...PSR so reliable
Ah nvm
It was a senior spousal hire. EH (ucla) is a senior move, so it doesn't count for this thread either. We're only looking at initial placements for ABDs or postdocs. Right?

EH is tenured? That’s crazy
Or be like a research associate or something...no teaching requirements at all.

Why not just take a great R1 job?
You claim to be a really great, productive researcher.
You really dislike teaching.
Don't apply to teaching schools. Just take a research job where you are obviously overqualified according to you.
This is what you trained for. Just go for a TT R1 job. Duh. If you are good this won't be a problem.
If you are still unemployed at this late stage of the season something is terribly wrong.
Yes, you should feel humiliated, but try to get back in the game.talk to your advisor about basics. What are you doing wrong? Maybe your cover letter is filled with proofreading errors. Otherwise you would be getting interviews and job offers.
Try to fix your errors.
