Ann Coulter basically views 2012 as a two person race between the Republican nominee and Barack Hussein Obama. She therefore supports Mitt Romney as having the best chance to beat Obama.
But there is another scenario overlooked by the MSM in which a third party run by Ron Paul could deprive Obama of a majority of electoral votes needed to win, by taking Independent and disaffected Democrat votes away from Obama, and bringing in new voters primarily those thirty something or under. Paul could also conceivably win as a third party candidate if he gets enough swing votes to put him over the top.
Currently there are 242 Republicans and 198 Democrats as House Members in the 112th Congress with one vacant seat.
It is not so much a question of electability. The real question is whether Paul can win enough electoral votes to deprive Obama of a majority, virtually guaranteeing victory in 2012 for the Republican nominee whomever that may be.
