I have no doubt her book will do well. My problem with Coulter is that she's preaching to the choir by writing columns that can only be printed in conservative outlets. You know how people complain about Maureen Dowd believing it's "better to be cute than coherant?" Coulter often chooses to write zingers instead of sustained arguments. Her reporting consists of looking through Lexis-Nexis. Which is how she made those errors in the USA Today column -- she quoted from other papers without calling the sources to check the accuracy.

Oh, they could be printed in left-wing journals like the New York Times, but never would be would they? The moderates--we used to call them liberals --held sway for a half century, but now it is our turn.

It wasn't but a handful of years when there weren't any, except WSJ of course. When she writes BESTSELLERS the CHOIR gets considerably bigger, both through those who read the books, and those who see her on promo interviews on TV, WHAT A COMBO, IMHO!!

Second, "sustained arguments" are boring.
Ann's "zingers" are what makes her so good and so effective. Those "zingers" make every scumbag Democrat who reads them feel like he (or she) has just been kicked in the stomach. Ann's effectiveness can be measured by how much the scumbags hate her. And man, they really hate her.
