Photo via Reuters: One gets a clear sense about how Romney feels about Gingrich
Reuters: Former One-term Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 2008 GOP Presidential Candidate and 2012 GOP Presidential CandidateWilliard Mitt Romney, insists that his biggest obstacle to the White House, one Newt Gingrich, is a “lifelong politician" who lacks credibility on how the U.S. economy works.” (Reuters).
Watching Romney throughout the 2008 GOP primary process, one became accustomed to attacks on candidates that might pose a problem to “Mitt”, specifically one Governor Mike Huckabee, whose battles with Romney are the stuff of legends – Romney’s criticisms started as soon as it was clear that Huckabee might be gaining momentum: From the Boston Globe Dec. 16, 2007:”Romney Calls on Huckabee to Apologize to President (Bush) over foreign policy criticism” - and that was a mild.
There was not a conservative paying attention who was not aware that Mitt Romney was the choice of the Beltway, nor was it a secret that he was backed by the “Establishment GOP”. With all this support however - Romney was out of the race come February.
He has the same support in 2011.
From the Kansas City Star: one Anne Coulter, on Mitt Romney - and then candidate McCain
Coulter also called John McCain a “douchebag,” but that was bleeped out.
Flash forward to 2011
The Daily Caller: Coulter: If not Romney Who? If not Now? When?
To Coulter’s credit, she did end up supporting McCain, however to get there she went through her favorite Conservative to be President first (and not one stood a snowball’s chance in Hades.)
Therefore, an endorsement from Ann Coulter, at this point in time, with the polls pointing way from her favorite candidate, is predicative of the turn of events to take place in the next six to ten weeks.
Will someone please poll Massachusetts, pitting Romney against Gingrich for the 2012 primary?
