CAVUTO: So you would admire more at least the politician that says a timetable to get out than going back and forth?
COULTER: No. I would admire a politician, not as much as basically your run of the mill garden-variety Republican, but as far as Democrats go like Lieberman, who apparently does want to defend America and fight the war on terrorism. He is the one facing a primary fight.
CAVUTO: You know, there is talk about him maybe bolting to a third party. The seeds are there for a third party movement. Do you buy that?
COULTER: I think he should come all the way and become a Republican. He wouldn’t be our best Republican but at left he’d fit in with the party that wants to defend the country.
Yeesh.

Ann Coulter has only one objective: to sell more books. She wrote editorials against the confirmation of Roberts to the Supreme Court because he might not be conservative enough, yet now she's saying Lieberman should become a Republican.
Lieberman has a single digit rating from the American Conservative Union. Even Lincoln Chaffee from RI, the most liberal Republican, has a rating of 37.
But here is Ann getting the publicity, and selling more books. #3 at Amazon...
One of the better reviews of an Ann Coulter book was done a few years ago by P.J. O'Rourke (the columnist for Rolling Stone and the Atlantic).
He quoted some paragraph from a Coulter book where she went on about liberalism or liberals or whatever people were the target then. Probably liberals. He then said that it made sense,and was the type of thing he was apt to say -- if he was sitting around with four of five his friends, it was 1:00 AM, and they'd each had six or seven drinks. Unfortunately, he was reading the book at 4:00 PM in his office while fully sober.
I think I feel the same way about her. She may say some things I agree with, but she's just not that pleasant to read (although I haven't ever tried it after downing a few drinks).
The total hardback sales for Ann Coulter's book probably won't top 200,000. It doesn't take a very significant portion of the population to buy a book to put it on the non-fiction bestseller list in Hardback. Amazon combines all books on its list -- Hardback, paperback, fiction, and non-fiction, but it also uses proprietary algorithms to rank (recent book sales are rated higher than a sale yesterday).
To get a political book onto the bestseller list probably requires a total printing of 50,000 to 75,000 (assuming that most of this sells out in the first couple of months). Probably a little more in November and December, when people buy books for other people for Christmas.
Paperback sales will be higher of course, but the percentage of American households that buy any book during a year is fairly small (excluding things like Chilton Auto Manuals, eBay for Dummies, etc: books that are meant to be read from front to back)
Chris MC... Dont listen to this Rubenstein fellow As I have said a billion times already you either agree with his viewpoint or you are labeled an operative, a staffer or whatever he thinks of at the moment.
I have been involved on my DTC for 24 1/2 years and I have run for State Senator and State Rep. My Cousin is a State rep in Litchfield County and my family has been involved for a few generations.
But Because we arent from the big city of West hartford or hartford or New haven we are considered outsiders by these big city folk.
Bruce I am not impressed by your big supposed political career have you ever run for office anywhere??
Chris Mc's opinion holds more weight with me than yours does.He makes sense and you just spin DeStefano and Slifka until the cows come home I left DeStefano Because he is just a typical sleazebag and so is Slifka.
Bruce keep living in your fantasy world of DeStefano and Slifka I may be a conservative Democrat and I am comfortable with that. But apparently if you aren't a liberal or anti war your opinion just doesnt matter anyway.
Chris MC... do me a big favor Keep on speaking your mind I do respect your opinions In fact I respect most everyone's on here including CT Keith and Bluecoat and the others I may not agree with everything But they all bring credence to their statements and dont due the constant attack and intimidation.
Bruce needs to stop being so Anti- Conservative and let all sides speak their mind whether he agrees with any of us or not.
