Really? You must have been in a coma during all those months where Fred Thompson was being hailed as a "front runner" without even announcing (he was polling second to Giuliani at the time) and McCain was in dismal single digits at the time. Of course, Fred's actual campaign imploded months later, but it's a fact Coulter was pro-Romney and anti-Fred when Fred was considered a "major contendor". This forum practically worshiped Fred 24/7 at the time. The idea that Coulter backed Romney as a last ditch effort to "stop McCain" can be proven false. She was a Romney cheerleader long before the primary came down to those two.
Since Giuliani polled no better than Fred when the actual primaries were held, if you're going to count him as a "front runner", you have to count Fred. Both were hyped endlessly before the primaries, though neither had much impact with voters.
>> The press chose McCain and Coulter was just making a point in her "support" for Hillary. <<
Exactly. Coulter doesn't even believe her own crap. (She still hasn't decided whether or not she agrees the Republican Party helped end slavery. It depends on what kind of audience she wants to woo at a given time) She'll just say anything to get her name in the headlines and sell books. Coulter isn't for advancing "conservative" ideals, Coulter is for advancing Coulter. What she says actually hurts conservatives.
>> No two conservatives agree on everything. Get over it. <<
I'll get over it when Ann gets over it. She's smeared plenty of good conservatives because they disagreed with her on one issue. Now the shoe is on the other foot. She's another one who can dish it out but sure can't take it.

Meanwhile, comparatively, at the same time, never-divorced Romney remained in a faithful marriage by all accounts, to his wife Ann, raising their five sons, now all in faithful marriages raising their children.
Fred, never got his candidacy off the ground. He enter red the race too late, and with all the high expectations, was as dull and flat a candidate as they come. I expect and fervently hope, we've seen the last of him.
