THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

by Ann Coulter

"Unluckily for McCain, snowstorms in Michigan suppressed the turnout among Democratic "Independents" who planned to screw up the Republican primary by voting for our worst candidate. Democrats are notoriously unreliable voters in bad weather. Instead of putting on galoshes and going to the polls, they sit on their porches waiting for FEMA to rescue them.

In contrast to Michigan's foul weather, New Hampshire was balmy on primary day, allowing McCain's base -- Democrats -- to come out and vote for him.

Assuming any actual Republicans are voting for McCain -- or for liberals' new favorite candidate for us, Mike Huckabee -- this column is for you.

I've been casually taking swipes at Mitt Romney for the past year based on the assumption that, in the end, Republicans would choose him as our nominee. My thinking was that Romney would be our nominee because he is manifestly the best candidate.

I had no idea that Republican voters in Iowa and New Hampshire planned to do absolutely zero research on the candidates and vote on the basis of random impulses.

Dear Republicans: Please do one-tenth as much research before casting a vote in a presidential election as you do before buying a new car.

One clue that Romney is our strongest candidate is the fact that Democrats keep viciously attacking him while expressing their deep respect for Mike Huckabee and John McCain..."

Precisely my take as well. And the more the Yellowstream Media disses Mitt the more I seem to be liking the guy. Bothered me from the get-go though, when Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter paid little heed to what Senator Thompson was saying, and at first I put it off to his being old and ugly but then I saw his wife and figured, hell, she's a babe so women must like the guy.

Not so. Guess once one gets to know him up-close and personal he's the bees knees but until then he's just, um, well, old and ugly. I know from old and ugly so take this to the bank.

Lem over at Hillbilly White Trash has more on the matter.
