Coulter backed Mitt Romney because he had the best shot at winning. He was a former governor.
Actually, anyone with any political acumen would have known that Romney was the least likely to have beaten Obama because out of all the candidates, given his record as Governor and his past policy positions, he was the most LIKE Obama.
So, that really cannot be the reason.
Obama was the best possible target, with his extreme left-wing policy positions, broken campaign promises, destruction of the Economy, support for Gay-Marriage, support for Abortion that a GOP Nominee could possibly go up against.
Romney's problem was that on almost all issues, he either agreed with Obama, or had taken the same policy position as Governor.
Romney could not fight, because the charges of "Hypocrite" backed by historical fact FROM HIS OWN HISTORY would have been forthcoming immediately.
So Romney, even though he had a target-rich environment with Obama as his opponent, sat on his hands and said nothing.
He was the absolute worst presidential candidate for the GOP ever!

I suspect Coulter makes more money when marxists are running the country. I can’t think of any other reason for her support of Romney. The simple fact that we lost the 0care card with a Romney ticket, OUR BIGGEST CARD, should have kept anyone with a modicum of sense from supporting him in the primaries.

Romney blew it when he did not nail Obama on Benghazi (thanks Candy, you pig). Romney should have been much better prepared and much more forceful on that issue (what the hell was he thinking?). All the wind left his sails after that pitiful performance in CNN debate.
