Coulter: Perry won’t live up to expectations, Romney can beat Obama
Daily Caller ^ | 08/12/11

Posted on 08/12/2011 9:27:21 PM PDT by freespirited

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.”

Bill Maher was her last date. She may have swung over to the dark side after that.

She is acting odd. Laura Ingram is another one that seems to like the RINOS.

The Elite know that Obama is done, so they are hedging their bets by making sure the GOP candidate is one of them.

Laura sure exposed herself as a RINO with her unwavering support of Boehner's debt reduction package. This, coupled with her daily ridiculing of the Tea Party, revealed her to be nothing more than an unprincipled RINO.

Another touch of reality of what we face in regaining control of the Republic as we recognize these false purveyors of the dichotomy that there are actually 2 choices of rulers from the big Demo+Publican Party. Coulter, Ingraham, GOP, DNC, Fox and many others ‘conservative’ or ‘progressive’ frauds may just all be part of the Big Ponzi.
The Political Whore list would fill a book.

No, Hannity . That train left the station years ago. The sheeple have the attention span of a gnat.

To the larger point - Romney nomination = Obama second term and Coulter is obviously into the "niche marketing" of herself.

Coulter used to earn respect.

Now she limps from the bed of Romney
to whatever RINO is nearby.

Shove it Coulter. Romney and Christie are RINOs.

Ann Coulter hasn’t just jumped the shark. The speedboat has been sold, the skis are lying in the attic, and she is in the old folk’s home reliving her days of glory when people cared about what she said.

Sad.

I'm not a Romney fan because of Romney care, but Ann is right on this one! He'll be portrayed as Warren Jeffs' distant cousin. (I know, Jeffs is not a real Mormon, but he'll be close enough for the press.)

Exactly, or in the words of the DNC:

Carville(Democrat): "It's a feel-good story, this Romney thing.
Romney is an ascendant guy."
