Ann Coulter: Picking ‘The Most Right Wing Candidate’ In Primary Is ‘Suicidal’

“Those who think ‘oh, absolutely, this is going to be 1980; we are going to run against Jimmy Carter’… and then there are those of us like me and apparently Governor Christie who think this guy is going to be tough to beat... The idea that you pick the most right-wing candidate without any concern over who can win is suicidal..."

She has had a crush on Mitt since 2006, like many of the otherwise Conservative GOP women.

A quick Google search will find videos of her (and Ingraham, et al) advocating for Romney. Among their reasons for supporting him - and this is no joke - is that he is “so handsome.” Tea Party fave and Romney backer O’Donnell has hinted at the same thing.

Ann Coulter-Romney is enamored with a good-looking guy saying all the right things; she is not the first woman this has happened to. I cut her some slack, but this is happening with too many GOP women. Handsome Willard has a spell on them.

She has spent to much time inside the beltway.
Not to mention the rumors about her, which would preclude her from supporting a conservative candidate.

Ann was a Mittbott as early as 2006 at C-PAC. Since then she has saddled up (no pun intended) with the homosexual community. Yep, a real voice for conservatism.

Want to know when real suicide occurred? When repubs picked McCain the moderate for nominee.

If the GOP had chosen McCain the moderate, things probably would have been OK. Problem is that McCain would need to take several giant steps to the right to be a moderate.

It appears that any of these people who are allowed airtime, have to now follow the RINO talking points. The Country Club talking points.

I wish these ladies would have taken up the cause when they painted Bachman with the "wild-eyed-migraine" look. I'd like to see Bambi's medical records and compare...oh, right, those are secret. Grades? Ah, nevermind...

The country-clubbers all filed Mittens' papers in the state of MO for the presidential run -- the fix is in for the Establishment Candidate, unless we have some miracle in which the average Joe has some say, or is that now impossible?

RINO voting has been forbidden in our household now...

Cain could “defeat” Obama in debate, but the media would still declare Obama the “easy winner” of the exchange, and the sheeple would be persuaded to go along with their media favorites.

To a degree i agree with her. Not in regards to supporting Romney but rather in the folly of exclusively rallying behind the candidate who may say everything we want to hear but whose qualifications are iffy at best, as are his chances of winning in the general election. With someone like Cain, for example, i like much of what he says but am not at all confident that he is ready to be President. Nor am i confident that the average voter would decide to exchange Obama for someone who has even less experience, who is too much of an unknown quantity.

And coming on the heels of a completely incompetent occupier of the WH, our country desperately needs someone fully competent and fully ready to govern from day one.

In the end this comes down to a practical approach to politics rather than the emotionally satisfying but mostly fruitless “my way or go to Hell” approach. Ultimately, the hard realityis that we aren’t going to suddenly shift the country where we’d like it to be no matter who is elected. The left currently has too much of the infrastructure when it comes to swaying public opinion and public policy: education, media, and entertainment. We all know this and we know (or should know) that until we have some semblance of balance in those areas things won’t fundamentally change. It’s going to take a lot of time and hard work to infiltrate those areas. It has to be a grassroots bottom up operation rather than a trickle down from the top, no matter even if we somehow elected the absolutely perfect Mr or Mrs Right at top.

The way i see it is that there are essentially three realistically electable candidates: Newt, Perry, Romney; and we need to choose between Newt and Perry if we want to avoid a Romney nomination. However, if Romney does go on to win the nomination then instead of burying our heads in the sand we need to pressure him to govern as conservatively as possible. Force him to make concessions with us instead of the left if he wants to get elected and then continue to keep making concessions to our side if he wants be re-elected.

Ultimately i think that is how Coulter and Malkin and others like them see things. They see Romney being the most likely candidate (though i don’t agree with that just yet), so why not tether him to conservatives instead of completely severing ties with him and pushing him even more to the left? And further, no matter who gets elected on the Republican side, whether Cain, Newt, Perry, or Romney, it probably won’t make that much of a difference to the conservative movement. At least not to the degree that some seem to think it would. Romney wouldn’t be a disaster (unless we adopt the “go to Hell” attitude), nor would a Cain be a magical cure. What’s more important is to keep working hard at the grassroots level and to not lose sight of that, no matter what happens.

She sure did come across that way on Hannity, although nothing new. To her credit, she does not try to hide her Mitt passion, but it does not add to her charm.

Am thinking someone needs to force feed the girl, that Twiggy look AIN’T too hot.

In order, I'd go Romney, Huntsman, Perry, Gingrich, Cain, and Santorum.

Assuming that you are listing the candidates from left to right, I think you have Romney and Huntsman (Obama's ambassador to China) flipped; and given Gingrich's stance on the need for government action to combat global climate change; I would say you have Perry and Gingrich flipped as well.

You cannot be a conservative and support Romney.

The 2012 election will be about fiscal issues.

It has to be only about fiscal issues because the RINO Party, over the last three decades, capitulated on every social issue. There are no social issues left to fight for.

48 years of following elections for a living, interviewing the WINNERS, reviewing the recent examples in 2010 where nominating the ultra Conservatives in Maryland and Nevada cost us the Senate.

It is all too easy for us hard Conservatives to forget that we do not represent the mainstream of American politics. Forget about right and wrong. In elections, votes count and nothing else does. When we nominate someone who cannot be elected in the General Election, all we do is usher in an easy victory for the Dems.... and that is exactly what the Dems hope for.

The time to educated the voters for the need for hard Conservatives is long before the election. If we don't do that, and we just say “If our hard Conservative doesn't get nominated, we're going to sit home on election day,” then we are paving the way for an Obama with nothing to lose because he cannot be elected again.

Also, remember, the Dems know this and FR is fully penetrated by Dem trolls who will try to discourage us from voting for the Republican candidate because he isn't "Conservative enough.”

I’ve read a lot of Coulter articles and, generally, have enjoyed them. But after this, she’s history in my book.

I wish Laura Ingraham would have laid into her harder. She could have asked Coulter if she really wanted another Rockefeller Republican in Romney. She should have pressed Coulter on Gingrich’s challenge to Obama on a set of Lincoln-Douglas style debates and asked her if Romney had the nuts, knowledge, or ability, to do the same. Finally, she should have asked Coulter to justify why Romney’s 25% ceiling has held, and even begun angling down, in spite of Perry’s and Cain’s falling percentages...and why Gingrich has been the sole beneficiary of these %-shifts.

C’mon Laura... when it’s handed to you on a silver platter your job is to exploit it! Why not make Coulter squirm a little. She more than deserves it, imo.

Wow, Ann swallowed the Kook-Aid, too, huh? I’d rather be “suicidal” than vote against my principles...if I can help it. (I will not be so ornery as to allow 0 to win by default)
