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.”

The eyelash extensions probably sprained her brain.
Stick it in your ear Ann! We have someone, although not perfect, who blasted the MSM for helping to ruin this country. Newt will bury BO. I would take Newt over the moderate lets all get along Romney.
I am guessing Newt refused her request to make her his 4th wife.
hell hath no fury.... ;)
Mr. niteowl77
Hope she socked a lot of $$$ away, cuz real Conservatives will no longer be buying them and Libs certainly wont.
Can their be that many RINO's? Doubt it!
Agreed. But I would still rather have someone more conservative than Newt. Too bad the nomination is going to be decided before it gets to PA. There has to be a better way to run primaries.

Coulter is making herself more and more irrelevant, and now just reminds me of the sound of a nagging gnat circling your ear.....
Baby. Bathwater. The whole brood of mewling GOP establishment babies has to go.
With titles like "Demonic", I doubt a RINO would buy her books, lest their Chardonnay-swilling libs friends make fun of them, or worse yet, not invite them to their cocktail parties.
“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.”
This delusional closet RINO seems to think that the only people in SC that could possibly vote for Newt have to be “liberals”. Ground control to this moron, South Carolina is the conservative state in the union and can spot a fake and phoney liberal a mile off. His name is Willard. Coulter should craw back under the rock she came from.
Hey Ann, get on your broom & go get a cheeseburger.
She is no longer a “Conservative columnist,” she is a Romneyite columnist — maybe she was touched by the magic underwear
While what she’s saying is at least partly accurate, unfortunately the rest of the other candidates suck too!
Once again, we are left choosing the lesser douche-bag....
She’s gone over to the dark side. All establishment all the time.
If you mean by more conservative Santorum, so far all I see from him is whiny pettiness. Except for his concession speech last night which makes me hope he will stop attacking his rivals and stay on message.
