Ann Coulter analyzes GOP Presidential hopefuls:

---Rudy Giuliani:

"I Think He's The Only Republican Who Can't Beat Hillary."

"I don't see him winning the Primary."

"If you can't get MY vote as a Republican against Hillary....."

---John McCain:

"Not a Conservative, but a patriot."

"A genuine war hero, unlike John Kerry."

"His weaknesses are half of his positions."

---Mitt Romney:

"Red stater in a blue state."

"Has a working knowledge of God."

---Newt Gingrich:

"Absolutely brilliant."

"His closet has certainly been thoroughly investigated already."

"I wish we could bring him in to pinch-hit for all presidential debates."

Newt Gingrich: "I wish we could bring him in to pinch-hit for all presidential debates

Me too, Annie!

[Hydroshock]

Ping

[RobRoy]

If I still voted, and simply voted for my favorite, regardless of his chance of winning, it would most definitely be Newt.

[Scotsman will be Free]

I'm tired of the plethora of lousy candidates that leave us the choice between the devil and the deep blue sea.

[ASA Vet]

[Hydroshock]

Duncan Hunter for me.

[Peach]

Please take me off your ping list; I never asked to be on it!

[swatter]

What about Tony Snow?

[FreeInWV]

Much as I can't stand Oreilly I watched it and loved it!

[Radix]

Rules!!!

[ASA Vet]

There will be someone along to remind you of the rules, but I won't.

Ann is correct about Rino Rudy, but wrong about the other two Rinos.
Neither Rino Mitt or Rino McNuts can beat Comrade Hillary.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

She did stipulate she would consider him if he reversed his positions on the big three issues.

As it is, she's absolutely right about Rudy. The conventional wisdom that Rudy is the most electable candidate out there is precisely ass-backwards. He would suppress the base like no candidate has ever done before. The election would be a bloodbath.

[Eagle Eye]

IMO Rudy is probably one of the few that could beat hillary and I believe that he is a guy who can get things done. He is probably a very good candidate but not for the Republicans.



I just don't agree with many of his political positions.

[Mr. K]

I would love to see Ann debate Hilliary

[pgkdan]

Newt Gingrich:

"Absolutely brilliant."

"His closet has certainly been thoroughly investigated already."

"I wish we could bring him in to pinch-hit for all presidential debates."

I absolutely agree!!! Newt would be great in a debate setting. He's head and shoulders above ANY democrat.

I don't know about Rudy being the only Republican that can't beat Hillary though. Rudy's problems will come in the primary races...I think he's much stronger in a general election. I just don't think he can ever get to the general. I'd never vote for him in a primary...however, in the general election I'd hold my nose and vote for him.

[TitansAFC]

Sorry!

[100-Fold_Return]

What Ann is missing is the MSM will drag out his ex, with older gals harping how insensitive Newt was in her hour of need...

[FreeInWV]

"IMO Rudy is probably one of the few that could beat hillary ..."

I agree. Rudy would crush hillary in the dnc primaries. Lets urge him to run!

[HitmanLV]

Can't wait for Ann to be derided as a RINO, certain to be damned to hell by.

[Emmett McCarthy]

I'll second that opinion. I'm not stupid eough to vote for a liberal just because he's a Republican. Rudy gets a pass from a lot of people because he stepped up in the wake of 9/11.

[BigTom85]

---Mitt Romney: "Red stater in a blue state."

HAHAHA.. she must be kidding. Romney is a moderate--errr-- I mean liberal. He is anti gun big time. That issue alone rules out any change of a real true conservative voting for him. He is not as bad as Rudy, overall.. but hes a far cry from a conservative.

[ishabibble]

I found Anne's most insightful comment to be about HClinton. She said that HC's candidacy was "inevitable" and compared that to Bob Dole's Republican nomination.

I was surprised that neither Bill or Anne mentioned Duncan Hunter. That would have been an interesting assessment.

[RockinRight]

Actually, regardless of Rudy's RINOism I think he'd win NJ and Ohio putting the election in his column.

That said, I think Ann is wrong on Mitt. I think she has a little crush on him.

[D-Chivas]

I don't know why Rudy didn't nuke Hillary in this last election.

[goldstategop]

I agree Rudy would be a good candidate if he wasn't so liberal. Perhaps he can overcome his weaknesses by marketing himself as Mr. National Security. I see it as really his only chance.

[xsmommy]

she said rudy could NOT beat hillary and that she wouldn't vote for him unless he changed his vote on abortion, guns and gays. why would she be derided as a RINO. methinks you misread the headline/

[BigTom85]

I was surprised that neither Bill or Anne mentioned Duncan Hunter. That would have been an interesting assessment.

It's not an accident. The media elites (yes, im suggesting Ann is one) on both sides look at people like Hunter/Tancredo/Ron Paul as pains in the neck- they just see them as candidates that just take away votes from the 'front runners'.

[HitmanLV]

Ah yes! That's what happens to my reading comprehension skills when I post before my morning java! Thanks! :-)

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

The conventional wisdom that Rudy is the most electable candidate out there is precisely ass-backwards

Absolutely correct - the same is true of the other two as well, Romney to a lesser degree than the Manchurian Candidate.

So, why is it "conventional wisdom"? Because the MSM says so, day after day, month after month, year after year. After awhile, the masses believe it - especially when there are plenty of "useful idiots" on the so-called right agreeing with them.

Republicans used to know instinctively that the MSM's "conventional wisdom" is exactly the opposite of the truth. Sadly, there are numerous Freepers who have forgot (or never knew) that sad truth.

[xsmommy]

no problem. i saw the program and was most interested to hear her "take" on rudy.

[HitmanLV]

I'll be sure to check the clip out. I am a big fan of AC!

[xsmommy]

she also said that the Republican party was the party of LIFE.... just fyi ; )

[HitmanLV]

I know it is. I am pro life myself and always have been.

[Eva]

I saw Newt on Hannity last night, he said that he saw his role in the election as raising the level of the rhetoric from both sides, forcing a real policy debate instead of all this negative back and forth that has already begun.

[gogeo]

Then toss your hat into the ring, son!

[babaloo]

Newt's humility knows no bounds.

[Fawn]

[Luke21]

Rudy already had a shot at Hillary. And he suddenly developed cancer in mid-race, leaving Hillary against Lazio. I found that sudden cancer thing very odd.

Let's just say the cancer was real and bad and whatever. What in the world is he doing running for president? Paul Tsongas had cancer, ran for president and is now deceased. If Rudy can't finish a senate race, why would he not be a health risk as president.

I'm biased against him, I know, primarily because I think he's the worst kind of Rino, and that he has absolutely zero chance of being elected. I'm always amazed at how the Rudyites cheerlead for a guy whose most enduring political act was handing a senate seat to Hillary Clinton.

[RobRoy]

Nope. Newt was behind the contract with america which was like a VERY short leash for Clinton, and even caused him to support conservative ideas (like welfare reform).

Newt is only second to Reagan to me, even though he looks too much like Ted.

Ann Coulter On Rudy Giuliani : "I Think He's The Only Republican Who Can't Beat Hillary."

Pundit Dearest's trademark shock overreaction: "If you can't get MY vote as a Republican against Hillary....."

Ann Coulter on voting: "I think I can vote any 'ol where without consequences"...

Pundit Dearest on seemingly innocuous closet utensils: "NO MORE WIRE COAT HANGERS!"

[Paco]

I'm tired of Rep voters that stay home and give the election to Dem's because they're a one issue voter.

[jonascord]

I would love to see Ann debate Hilliary

You have a better chance of winning the Power Ball...

[Fairview]

Don't be unfair. Rudy had prostate cancer. That is not something you can fake; there are too many records involved.

[jla]

Ann knows the score and how the symphony should be arranged.

[Artemis Webb]

Ann shut up.

Somebody force feed that scrawny broad a cheeseburger.

[WalterSkinner]

What about Tony Snow?

..I've been thinking about that too

I don't know if he would ever want to run for public office though...

[Oct1967]

Ann was quite enthusiastic about Mitt Romney

and even had some good things to say about McCain

[fish hawk]

I'd rather see Newt debate Hillary. I don't think the masses would take Ann seriously. I do, but that is me not the media fed idiots.

[Oct1967]

Can you point to me which Red States would vote Blue if it were Rudy versus Hillary, while the following Blue states would likely vote for Rudy:

ME
NH
CT
NJ
PA
MI
MN
WI
OR

Thats about 75 EVs (note I am giving NY and CA to Hillary along with IL).
