Conservative pundit Ann Coulter warned activists Saturday that if the party nominates former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in 2012, President Obama will win reelection.
Asked in a Q&A session after a bombastic speech at CPAC what she thought of the 2012 field of hopefuls, Coulter initially hesitated, but went on to essentially deliver an endorsement of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
“If you don’t run Chris Christie, Romney will be the nominee and we’ll lose,” said Coulter, eliciting cheers from the crowd.
“By the way,” she added, “I warned you about McCain.”

Unbelievable. Honest to God I feel like I’ve slipped into some alternative universe
Somebody has spike Ann’s orange juice. Chris Christie is not that conservative. He is great for NJ but wrong for President. I love (not) that Ann doesn’t have a woman in mind to run.
LOL! I agree!
Bye Bye Ann.
She wants to keep appearing on the MSM.
I second that.
I think she is on to something. Christie is not that conservative but he has that “I don’t care what people think” attitude which many people like plus he is standing up to the unions especially the municipal unions, who are becoming our ruin. Notice how the teachers’ unions are digging in and becoming more unbearable.
I will agree. Romney would lose.
Me too.
While it may not be widely known outside of NJ, Christie’s positions on guns mirror those of Michael Bloomberg. Regardless of his position on other issues, if he does not publicly and convincingly take a different tack he is a non-starter outside of the Northeast. Someone he trusts needs to apprise him of this fact quickly.
Yes, but does anyone remember in 2008 that Ann at CPAC backed Mitt as the best candidate out there? I do. I was in the room and heard it.
I like Christie and from what I’ve seen he is just what New Jersey needs, but I’d like to see him finish his work, maybe a second term and then look forward.
It seems every corner has dismissed Palin. I still believe that we have not heard from the candidate yet.
Add me to that list for the reason stated on guns. I hold a similar position on Myth (non-starter) for other reasons.
In Ann’s case, it could be that time of life kicking in.
Looks like Coulter’s got a “tingle up her leg” for Christie.
RomneyCare would destroy his candidacy. He has to denounce it.
