On a Sunday morning appearance on “Fox & Friends,” conservative columnist Ann Coulter explained why Romney fell short in the South Carolina GOP presidential primary, blaming the priorities of South Carolina voters for Gingrich’s success.
“Apparently, South Carolinians would rather have the emotional satisfaction of a snotty remark toward the president than to beat Obama in the fall,” Coulter, the author of “Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America,” said. “We saw it in the debates when Gingrich would say things that didn’t really make sense. That is what you usually associate with Democrats, which I described in my last book, ‘Demonic,’ how mobs behave.”
Some of what Gingrich has said might appear to make sense, she said, but should be analyzed more closely.
“Something that sounds like it makes sense like, ‘Mitt Romney doesn’t have influence over his super PAC — that makes you wonder if he’ll have influence as president,’” she continued. “How many times does Mitt Romney have to say it is illegal for a candidate to have influence on the super PAC. It is not, interestingly, though, for a president to have influence. So it makes no sense if you think about it for all of three seconds, but it sounds like it makes sense. It is just like what you get from liberals most of the time and the cheers and yahoos, and that is what we kept getting from this audience.”
Coulter, who has been a Romney supporter since New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he would not be seeking the Republican nomination, was asked if Romney should change his strategy now that he suffered a defeat in South Carolina, and perhaps go on the offensive with “fire in the belly.”

[Wish she’d get back to some 0 a** kicking.]
Yeah, she’s really done a turn around and has turned conservatives off. But, Ann’s always liked her ‘face time’ and flipping her hair around, etc. She was never a big favorite of mine - even though I have two of her books from way back.
If the nominee is apparent at that time, the Iowa delegates will overwhelmingly support him.
If the same four are still in contention, the breakdown MIGHT be something like Romney 14, Santorum 10, Paul 4, although I think Iowa will have a few more than 28 delegates.
I know the post to which you’re referring. I admit I’m not a prophet nor was meant to be. Can you admit you’re not as smart as you obviously think you are?
I think her and Laura Ingrahm love Mittens hair.
I was listening to a rebroadcast of LI show from Friday, and she kept asking the audience, “what if Newt or Rick don’t do well, shoudl one of them drop out”? I guess she figured Mittens was a done deal.
Hey Laura, if Mittens didn’t do well in SC, should he drop out?
.
Maybe she does not like Cashellista as the next Empress of Tiffany’s.....
Hoo Nose?
47 more minutes to play in a long 50 minute playoff.
Are there going to be 47 more debates?
2 future games have already been forfeited for not fielding enough players under the official rules.
Let’s see what the Halftime Show is like
Johnson, Trump, Paul may still be wildcards
- and then on to the Super Bowl in November -
There is no crying in pollyball or salmon fishing
Everyone gets to write a book.....
4 more beers - or just 1 hemlock?
Will the NPA survive?
I will - There is more to life than pollyball
I have a busy day tomorrow
GO GATORS!
BEAT THE RIGGERS!

I have to say Ann lost me during the whole Harriet Miers debacle. Now she may have been right on this issue but her completely hysterical meltdown on radio was a revelation to me. That combined with her refusal to change her appearance for over twenty years has convinced me that she has “issues”. Highly intelligent fer sure, but neurotic.
Lol, I had been checking back and forth for you as it’s late. I suspect you found the beer keg? snicker.
Hard to respond to this post of yours....where to begin...
But watch out, danger lurks!
Ann and Britt Hume really hate Gingrich. I guess she still thinks that milquetoast moderates can beat democrats. I thought she was smart.

Wardaddy: "With Coulter, you throw out the face, boob job, place where Geraldo has been, the strident mouth and keep the legs and hair and blue eyes and brain and start over and give her lips this time first thing...
Ann would likely say after viewing my homepage..."with Wardaddy you throw out everything but his beard and sell it to Santa Claus"
I know what you’re facing, all will be well. Believe it.
Ann, some of the establishment seems fully intent on throwing away the baby and keeping the poo.
"You Freepers"?
Hmmm, I smell ozone...........
It's too bad because I used to admire Ann C., but no more.
“What the hell is wrong with Coulter...I used to admire the woman.”
Coulter is probably right about this.
* Newt can’t force Obama to debate him.
* Obama is a dirty campaigner he will wont even honor his own pledges. So even if Newt could convince him to promus to debate he wouldn’t.
* Obama already has a Gigantic Campaign fund(due to his goverment “investment” in his friends). Obama can afford to bombard any republic with ad from a safe distance.
* Newt may be the General Lee of debaters & strategist, but hes playing out numbered against modern weapons.
* Obama won’t even pretend to respect and play fair with Newt unlike Mitt. Obama is a dirty two timing lair we know this form his presidency and his first campaign.
What makes you think he will play any different this time?
All the evident to date would suggest that Newt would get totally owed by Obama’s gigantic perceptual campaign machine. Obama will be able to paint him as Adoft Hitler himself if he wants. Because Newt will not be able to say anything at all period.
“”Newt Goldwater would carry six states against Obama. You Freepers will get your asses kicked.”
“You Freepers”?
Hmmm, I smell ozone...........”
Hes right, like it or not money & organization matters supremely. If newt can’t build a war-chest and organization to rival Obama’s he will get creamed.
Obama will take everything that is worse about our elections and uses it against Newt. Truth & lies, fact or fiction, do not matter with the money & media game Obama will play. What matter is what the people hear and see. That will be what Obama pays to put on their screen and bring to their doors.
The most infuriating thing about all of this will be that Obama will, true to form, be denouncing everything he’s doing all the while as if he wasn’t doing it at all.
She has tossed her hat in Mitten’s ring—like many others. Now she is forced to defend her man—her choice. She wins if Newt becomes the nominee and loses, or if he is ran out of the race by the MSM, or a reviorated Mittens. She only loses if Newt wins the race—then she will lose big and have to get a job on the MSNBC network.
That was not the intent of the original poster, so I don’t know why you feel you had to explain his motives.
Besides, Mittwit , if the nominee, will have the organization and money that you tout so highly and guess what?
And he’ll get HIS ass kicked.
