On the eve of Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s announcement that he will be a candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, Ann Coulter continues to push for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to enter the competition.
On Sean Hannity’s Friday radio show, Coulter, author of “Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America,” made a prediction on how she thought things would shake out. But, she remains optimistic on former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s chances against President Barack Obama should Romney be the Republican nominee.
“This is a prediction for the future — that Republican primary voters are desperate, as they should be to have a decent Republican candidate,” Coulter said. “No more John McCains because we have to take out this guy Obama.”
Coulter continued, “Right now by far and away, no matter what the media tells you listeners — Romney is the odds on favorite and he’s a pretty good candidate. I did not think he could win a year ago. But now, I think Obama has such a glass jaw and Romney has done very well. I think Romney could actually beat Obama.”
Coulter, however, warned that RomneyCare and Mormonism would haunt the former Massachusetts governor in his campaign.
“But still we’re uncomfortable because of RomneyCare, we’re worried he’s going to lose votes because he’s a Mormon and oh boy, you notice the media has said nothing about Mormonism now,” Coulter said. “As soon as he’s the nominee, we’re going to have one exposé after another. They’re going to be portrayed as crazier than the Scientologists.”
But, Hannity added that by injecting Mormonism into a general election against Obama, it would make Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s indiscretions fair game once again — something that would seem to work in favor of a Romney Republican presidential candidacy.
As for Perry, Coulter later said she anticipates a disappointment that will lead a push for Christie to join the race.
“You’ll see Rick Perry,” Coulter said. “He won’t live up to expectations and the American people will throw themselves into the arms of Chris Christie. That’s my scenario.”
What is that about?
Ann Coulter joined the gay Republican group GOProud and has agreed to serve the group as its "Honorary Chair of its Advisory Council".
Or in other words, he quotes the N.R.A.s official stance.
That said, she needs to get over her Chris Christie infatuation, the man isn't running, and its become overwhelming clear, he does not want to run, he has no desire to run, and doesn't want to get in the race, he does not want to commit. He has used every single excuse possible to say it. He does want to be a kingmaker (ala Sen. DeMint), but he does not want to be a candidate.
She needs to get over it.
At this point in 2007, Rudy Giuliani was the front-runner.
Hey Anne Baby...
Truck Mutt Romneyoid
Mitt Romney is just as bad a candidate as John McCain, and he would lose the election. A lot of conservatives would rather stay home than vote for such an unapologetic liberal republican. If he won, what would we really gain? No, thanks.
Compared to Obama, Romney might be “pretty good” but anyone on the debate stage was better than Obama.
I listed out of curiosity to hear what she thought of the debate. She went on and on and on about Christie and had to turn her off. How can anybody take her seriosly anymore?
Pray for America
Thanks. I had no idea. Ann must appeal to the dykes. Too bad if true.
Personally I fear Romeny more than Obama. If we have the House and probably the Senate Obama’s liberal ideas would be DOA. Romney’s liberal ideas would slip through, just like Bush’s prescription drug plan, campaign finance, and No Child Left Behind did, and amnesty for illegals almost did.
Back on the Romney bandwagon. You've lost your f'ing mind, Coulter!
Thanks, older...
And, unfortunately, Sarah Palin defended the participation of GOProud at CPAC, last year

GOProud will not be allowed full participation this year, and Rick Perry and the Response are blamed for backing the right wing “insanity.”

“Unfortunately, the increasing insanity of the modern GOP gives one little hope. Anti-gay zealots continue to use the party as a platform. This weekend, for instance, Texas Gov. Rick Perry will hold a stadium prayer rally in Houston that can only be described as “Loonypalooza.” Virtually all of the GOP presidential candidates are kissing up to the extreme right and seem terrified by intransigent, tantrum-throwing Teabaggers that came within in a hair of crashing the world economy this week.”
Uhm, no, Giuliani was the frontrunner early on last time and McCain was near last.
Coulter, Romney and Kerry all are members of the Ivy League club. In other words, they all consider themselves to be properly credentialled to be our “leaders” in the political arena.
People who aren’t from the Ivy League club are seen as “outsiders” and gap-toothed hicks who might mess up their gravy train.
