I get the feeling that whoever emerges victorious as the Republican nominee is going to have a hard time selling themselves to independent/swing voters in the general election.

Romney Presses Ann Coulter Into Surrogate Duty

In a new radio ad launched by the Romney campaign in Iowa last week, Romney turns to conservative fire-breather Ann Coulter to make the case that he’s the most electable candidate in the Republican race. Having made a living off saying things that no politician would likely wish to be closely associated with, it’s an interesting choice — and a sign that Romney is going all out to cast himself as the more pure conservative choice to Gingrich.

A few of her more ridiculous quotes:

My libertarian friends are probably getting a little upset now but I think that's because they never appreciate the benefits of local fascism.

The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man's dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet — it's yours. That's our job: drilling, mining and stripping. Sweaters are the anti-Biblical view. Big gas-guzzling cars with phones and CD players and wet bars — that's the Biblical view.

You remember what a fabulous success court-ordered "desegregation" plans have been. Few failures have been more spectacular. Illiterate students knifing one another between acts of sodomy in the stairwell is just one of the many eggs that had to be broken to make the left's omelette of transferring power from states to the federal government.

I think [women] should be armed but should not vote ... women have no capacity to understand how money is earned. They have a lot of ideas on how to spend it ... it's always more money on education, more money on child care, more money on day care.

My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building.

It would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact.

If Chicago had been hit, I assure you New Yorkers would not have cared.

I'm getting a little fed up with hearing about, oh, civilian casualties. I think we ought to nuke North Korea right now just to give the rest of the world a warning.

The Democrats are giving aid and comfort to the enemy for no purpose other than giving aid and comfort to the enemy. There is no plausible explanation for the Democrats' behavior other than that they long to see U.S. troops shot, humiliated, and driven from the field of battle. They fill the airwaves with treason, but when called to vote on withdrawing troops, disavow their own public statements. These people are not only traitors, they are gutless traitors.
. . .

And plenty more where those came from.

ETA: Sorry, but I gotta list just one more gem:
I'm a Christian first, and a mean-spirited, bigoted conservative second, and don't you ever forget it.

Does this mean Romney will also use Pat Buchannan as a surrogate in New Hampshire?
 
I don't think that having the Coulter critter on his side is going to mean much to Romney. He's a lock if one more whackadoodle drops out after the primary for lack of any support.

He should be courting thinking professional in the middle. That horse-faced harpy drive more of them any every time she opens her mouth.
 
Stay classy! Can you see her "horse face" in the radio ad? Her looks are relevant why?

I think "horse face harpy" fits her. She should no respect with people who disagree with her, not to mention her retarded collections of quotes, so why should people pay her respect?

After carefully hedging up until this point, Romney recently felt the need to proclaim support for Paul Ryan's Medicare plan.

Romney seems to be moving to the right, thus giving up his only real advantage over the other candidates. I'm not sure it's a winning strategy for him since being the "most electable" candidate is probably the best chance he has.

Insulting her looks isn't helpful. Her words are all one needs to discredit her.
 
Kind of like Smokey the Bear or McGruff the Crime Dog except instead of forest fires and crime it's liberals being messaged about.
 
So, does the Republican presidential nominee automatically get Ann Coulter as his girlfriend?

Seeing as how this isn't the first reference to how unattractive Lefty finds her, the comment strikes me as chauvinistic, if not misogynistic.


Lefty - looks have absolutely zero baring on politics.

While it is true that looks may not have much to do with politics, but looks have a great impact on becoming a politician who actaully wins elections.

Just ask Nixon or Reagan about that.

So what you're saying is that Lefty, as well as several others in this thread, are appealing to the lowest common denominator by going on about her looks?

Shall we elevate the civility of our discourse just a tad?

Well, maybe this is news to you, but one must face reality; and the reality is that physical appearance is very important in the winning of elections.

Sorry, but that is just the way that things are.

I didn't think Coulter was running for anything, and I didn't know you could see her face while listening to the radio.

True enough!

Coulter is not running for anything, and one cannot see her face on the radio.

However, it was you that insisted that looks have nothing to do with politics.

I agree, if for no other reason then it prevents discussions like this from derailing the thread.

I see this and I conclude that the Republicans are doomed in 2012. Let us go back just 8 short years. We had a Republican incumbent, with exceedingly low approval ratings. The democrats had a large field, with a few early early leaders having spectacular flame outs (some due to affairs becoming public - although my personal favorite was Dean's Primal Scream). Eventually the Democrats settled on a boring centrist because he was 'electable'. It didn't work for the Dems in 2004, and in fact the incumbent won with even a bigger margin than when was elected 4 years earlier. I don't see any reason to believe that it will work any better for the Reps this time around.
