[lbo-talk] Ann Coulter loses it over McCain

[Doug Henwood]

I really doubt McCain has much of a chance. All that terrorism and  
war shit has lost much of its resonance. Just ask Rudy Giuliani.  
McCain is winning the Rep nomination because he's perceived as the  
most "liberal" of the bunch. He's not liberal, of course, but  
compared to Ann Coulter, he is. But as former Bush adviser Matthew  
Dowd said, if you're criticizing us but doing so using our language,  
we're still winning. The fact that the GOP is worrying about  
electability, just like the Dems in 2004, suggests that the terrain  
has shifted.
