(CNN) - In the latest sign that a conservative backlash is starting to build against John McCain, conservative commentator Ann Coulter said Thursday she is prepared to vote for Hillary Clinton over the Arizona senator in a general election match up.
Speaking on Fox's "Hannity and Colmes," Coulter took aim at the GOP frontrunner, and suggested he was little more than a Republican in name only.
"If you are looking at substance rather than if there is an R or a D after his name, manifestly, if he's our candidate, than Hillary is going to be our girl, because she's more conservative than he is," Coulter said. "I think she would be stronger on the war on terrorism."
Coulter took aim at McCain's positions - particularly his fervent anti-torture stance - and said he and Clinton differ little on the issues. Coulter also said she is prepared to campaign on Clinton's behalf should McCain win the party's nomination.
"John McCain is not only bad for Republicanism, which he definitely is - he is bad for the country," she said.
Coulter is the latest high profile conservative to express dismay with McCain's surging candidacy. Talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh said Wednesday McCain's rise was the product of a 'fractured' conservative base and an "uninspiring" GOP presidential field.
"He is not the choice of conservatives, as opposed to the choice of the Republican establishment — and that distinction is key," Limbaugh continued. "The Republican establishment, which has long sought to rid the party of conservative influence since Reagan, is feeling a victory today as well as our friends in the media."
McCain has long been at odds with conservative members of his party. — Exit polls from the early-primary states have shown the he has consistently lost among those primary voters who identify themselves as conservative. But he passed a key test Tuesday in winning Florida's primary, the first early contest that only allowed registered Republicans to participate.
Reacting to criticisms from his party's most conservative quarters, McCain told the San Francisco Gate Thursday, "I'll continue to reach out to all in the party, try to unite the party, until everybody realizes that the only way we're going to defeat the Democratic candidate is through a united party."

I do too!
Is this one of the 7 signs of the End of Days in Revelations?
You know you've been a bad, bad Republican when Ann Coulter supports Hillary Clinton over you.
After last nights debate , it makes a lot of sense. I was an Obama fan , but now I'm going to vote hillay!
Senator Obama's camp should run with this:
Anne Coulter to campaign for Hillary.
That should bring Democratic voters to their senses.
That does it. If Ann Coulter is thinking about voting for Clinton it's time to switch to Obama.
This is the only time I have ever liked hearing her talk. I know she did not mean what she said about voting for Hillary but still I understood her position and she was not mean spirited about it.
What more proff do people need that Obama is a better candidate than Hillary. If Ann Coulter supports you, that pretty much says all that needs to be said about your ability? to inspire and lead the nation.
Now all those who say Hillary cannot bring people together can just shutup. They don't get any more right than this nut.
I won't vote for any Republican in this race, but the fact that right-wing nut jobs like Rush and Coulter-geist hate McCain just makes me like him even more.
Views and support keep changing so its impossible to get definate answers i can take to the bank
Just more evidence true Dems should be backing Obama
The neocons are finally realizing they are being left out in the cold by the mainstream republicans. It is funny to watch them become completely irrelevant. Goodbye FOX, Coulter and Rush you had a good run but your marginalized and radical views are 10 years behind reality.
Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter are awful people. This is what is wrong with America! Why do the republicans take these two idiots so seriously?
When Obama wins the nomination, Hillary and Ann Coulter could run together as a third party- I think they have a lot in common!
I AM 71 YEARS OLD.
I HAVE ALWAYS VOTED REPUBLICAN.
I HAVE NEVER MISSED A PRESIDENTAL VOTE.
I VOTED DEMOCRAT THIS ELECTION.
I AM WHITE.
I VOTED FOR THE MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE.
I VOTED FOR BARACK OBAMA.
I WOULD VOTE FOR A FEMALE CANDIDATE BUT ,NOT , NEVER, FOR
HILLARY CLINTON.
THE ONLY REPUBLICAN I WOULD VOTE FOR PRESIDENT IS MITT ROMNEY.
Heh this is a good counter to Kennedy's endorsement for Obama. Who would have ever thought Coulter we even make such a statement? The republicans need a facelift.
I mean If Anne thinks Hiliary is a better candidate for her then McCain and she is as right wing as right wing can be, what does that tell you about Hilary?
So, the Clinton supporters should be crying right now...
I hope the news media gets this out with the headline "Coulter Chooses Clinton"...hahaha. Either way, it doesn't seem to me that Coulter's comments will gain Hillary any new ground with anyone, and hopefully it will make her lose some.
Obama!
Hey! Another reason to dislike Clinton and love McCain for me
Thanks Ann, this is the first thing in years I've listened to anything you've said (and shame on CNN for making me listen to _anything_ you say
)
Ann Coulter is known for making outlandish statements. She is not a true Republican; she is merely a radical conservative. Her comments have no bearing on the Republican party.
If we are reduced to caring what Ann Colter thinks is best for anybody, the GOP or the country – well, we're really in more trouble than I thought.
well-what do you know...there's one proof that hillary is a uniter. imagine this woman offering to campaign for her. of all people!!! as hillary said if we want somebody to beat the republicans, she's our girl!! clinton-obama '08!!!
Based on all her mindless comments from the past, apparenlty Ann Coulter is trying to ruin the career of another politician - Hillary Clinton.
hahaha, I guess every vote counts???
That's just so she has new material to write more books.
Maybe John McCain is doing well because the country is sick of big-business conservatives running us into the ground?
She represents everything that is wrong with the Republican party.
Once in a while she makes sense. This is not one of them.
so bombthrower Ann is going "kamikazi republican" Goodbye, as a moderate repub I am sick and tired of your and Rush'es and Sean' rants!!!!!!!!
Why on Earth would anyone care what Ann Coulter wants?
This is absolutely ridiculous. Ann Coulter is neither respected as a Republican or a commentator/analyst, or whatever she actually is. I am a fervent Republican who will back any of the candidates the party nominates. I think McCain's ability to reach across the aisle shows he is willing to make concessions and that sometimes the only way to get anything positive accomplished is to negotiate and both sides make sacrifices. This whole idea of "it's our way or the highway" is what is fractured about the Republican party and what has turned many of the independent voters toward the Democrats. They are sick and tired of the ego's in the Republican party and are ready for someone who can actually get things accomplished with Bi-partisan support. That is why McCain is so popular. It's time for the vast right wing conservatives to realize that if they are unwilling to change then they will go the way of the dinosaur. We just need a candidate that will adhere to our values but also be willing to understand that some battles you cannot win and you must negotiate. A true leader understands this and only an egotistical fanatic like that of Coulter is too stubborn to know the difference.
I agree with Ann. If John wins the GOP there will be many republicans who will not vote when it comes to the election and many others who will vote for the other party. Plain and Simple, McCain is dividing the republican party.
I would rather see John McCain ruin the Republican Party than see Hillary Clinton ruin the United States of America.
So is the woman who claimed that Jews needed to be perfected by converting to Christianity prepared to support a Morman?
Democrats will vote for McCain, Republicans for Hillary. I feel like Alice in Wonderland.
This is great.
The more controversial she can be, the more money she makes.
She's just another piece of trash like Rush and his veteran remark. Typical Republicans, they'll even invoke God if there's any money to be made.
Hey, Ann,
As a lifetime Democrat and Hillary supporter I have one comment: Don't do us any favors.
Who CARES what she thinks???!!!
Oh, this will help Hillary. FOR SURE!
Wow, even the Republicans would vote for Hillary !!
Yet another closet liberal showing her true colors. Nobody is listening to you anyway
Ann – How do you stand on Ron Paul? He is certainly more conservative than Romney or McCain. So conservative, he was only one of four people in congress to support Reagan during his first run for president. Everyone else (wrongly) supported Gerald Ford.
Ann Coulter is a psychopath. These arch-conservatives who are pro-torture and fervently for starting as many wars on as many fronts as possible, and blindly handing over as much power as possible to corporate interests who have shown time and again they can't handle power without supervision – these are the people responsible for the problems we are facing now. I hope when Ann Coulter or one of her family members is taken in for questioning by this totalitarian state she seems to desire that she takes her torture with a smile on her face and praises the country she helped create. Although with the water-boarding apparatus on you it is probably difficult to smile, or praise your captors. Bravo to all the REAL americans out there who realize where the Coulters and Limbaughs of the world would lead us.
I think that if someone running for President has never served in the US Military they should not be allowed to run for the Presidency. If they have never walked in the shoes of the military how are they gonna know how to run the Military? THINK! GO McCAIN!!!!
Coulter is hot!
Regardless of her sometimes wacky remarks, she's HOT!!
Talk about the ultimate kiss of death...
I think John McCain has a little more understanding of torture then Coulture could even imagine.
Clinton would not want Coulter to campaign for her. Ever.
Big mistake! Whatever McCain's faults, he is at least aware that the west is engaged in a titanic struggle with Islamic extremism - even if he is not prepared to tell the whole truth that the titanic struggle is with Islam, itself. Clinton never mentions a word that the struggle might have any connection with Islam at all. She hasn't a clue. Not only that, Clinton is beholden to a significant degree to the rest of the Democrats, including MoveOn.org which will never, ever say anything about Islam that might possibly be construed to be critical. On this decisive issue alone, McCain is to be preferred.
Who cares what she thinks?
Misleading story. I watched the show last night. Coulter did describe Hillary Clinton as "our girl," but disavowed it seconds later. She was just trying to make a point about her dissatisfaction with John McCain. She does not, and will not, support Clinton in the election. If you actually watch the tape of the show, it is obvious.
So what do we learn here?
a) This is another example of lazy reporting.
b) CNN is deliberately trying to mislead the public.
c) The personality-driven media is desparate to hear from the Ann Coulters, so they don't have to actually analyze the candidates' positions on the issues.
d) All of the above.
I miss real journalism.
Ann Coulter is no friend of Hillary, Obama or any Democrat. The hateful statements she has made about both of them and all Democrats is sickening. The old adage, "with friends like this, you don't need any enemies", is certainly true in this case.
Remember your Greek Mythology, and the story of the Trojan Horse.
"Somewhat is sure design'd, by fraud or force, Trust not their presents, nor admit the horse."
Indignation against McCain's support for the Constitutional right against torture shows just how far off-side "militant" conservatism is.
The far right that Coulter belongs to increasingly strains against the checks and balances put in place to protect Americans from radicalism and abuse of process.
Wow, CNN just found a women less qualified than Hillary to be president.
CNN, I beg of you, stop pretending Ann Coulter is a serious commentator/pundit. Short of resurrecting Herbert Hoover, I don't think anyone is Conservative ENOUGH for Ann Coulter. She's a neo-conservative, anti-semetic, xenophobe who would vote for George Rockwell before voting for any who even smelled of moderate conservatism.
John McCain is a great American and a great leader. I'm personally a Democrat, and I intend to vote that way, but I can think of worse fates than voting for John McCain, and if Ann Colter thinks that John McCain isn't conservative enough for her, I say proper thing! Why must the media keep treating her someone who's opinion matters? There are REAL conservative commentators and pundits out there who have their own opinions, and yet we continue to bear witness to this woman who has even advocated taking away the right to vote from her own gender.
CNN, I watch your coverage, I read your ticker, and I listen to your 'best political team on television'. But until you stop giving people like Ann Coulter the light of day, and start working to put her back under the rock that she crawled out from, I don't see how I can take your coverage of the issues seriously.
And to any conservatives to think John McCain is too moderate...get over it! He's the best Republican running, and he's the only Republican who has even the slightest of chances to win in November. He'll continue the war, lower taxes, and cut spending; how much more conservatism does the base need?
Well, the master of hypoerbole strikes again. Ann, Hillary doesn't want your support. I can't speak for John McCain.
Since Hillary once was a Republican, this makes sense.
If a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, did it actually fall?
You have got to be kidding me. Now that is a frightening thought. Hillary, if you can, I would run from any endorsements from Coulter or Limbaugh. They are both crazy "as a bed bug" as my 87 year old mother said. It would certainly make me revisit my commitment to any candidate they would get behind. While I agree that McCain rides the fence between the two parties, Coulter is insane, and more importantly to me, one of the most cruel and vile persons to have a stage with the American public. She has got to have an ulterior motive, must want to trash your momentum. Rush is just a common criminal, but I digress. CNN, this article gives me chills. I am going to be "manifestly" depressed all day!
Wait a minue. Coulter wants to vote for Clinton?
The republican party girl herself?
I tune out Coulter whenever she speaks because I personally find her nauseating, dimwitted and downright cruel, but what's her game? Is she trying to NOT get Clinton elected president by endorsing her? Is she trying some sort of reverse psychology? I mean, who would want to vote for the same person someone like Ann Coulter votes for? Who would want to say that Coulter is on the same side they're on? That's downright scary.
The right wing of the GOP is so out of touch, its unreal. They live in their own 'we are ever so perfect, we don't even go to the toilet' world.
The right wing is certainly from Planet Neptune.
The only two people that attract any type of attention in the GOP right now are John and Ron.
They are also so arrogant that they would prefer Flip-flopping once-for-abortion now-not-against abortion, once-for-gay-rights-now-changed-my mind, Mr. Flopper , just-like-Hillary, MittRomney, JUST BECAUSE HE IS GOOD LOOKING!!!
He did say 'time-table' the only difference is that he did not want Bush to make it public.
You people are ready to forgive Romney because he's got lots of money, and because he is good looking.
Remember that song "You're so vain"?
Can you give us some facts or examples to back up these statements? I just don't see very much depth to this article. I'm sorry, but Ann Coulter does come off a little half-cocked sometimes.
I'm voting for Huckabee but I have friends voting for McCain bc they think he has a good chance of beating Hillary. (I myself was tempted to vote for McCain as well – but only as a vote against Romney.)
I certainly would never vote for Hillary over McCain. What's wrong with being against military torture? I'm sure there are other ways of dealing with people; but we must respect first and foremost that they *are* people no matter how crazy their cause may be.
What? Ann Coulter voting Democrat? Is the world coming to a spiraling end? At least the Republican Party is, if they can't even convince the most batty conservative in the world...
The worst thing I can think of for the Hillary Clinton campaign would be to have Ann Coulter's support. Please -- just keep talking about how much you hate
liberals and stick with the Republicans.
Coulter and Limbaugh are trying to lead us to believe that McCain is a moderate so that they can grab moderate votes. They are well aware of the anti-Republican sentiment that is rising thanks to GW.
Although...I'm not sure that either of them is bright enough to really think of something that savvy.
I'm sure Hillary would be so excited to have Coulter on her side, (not)!
30 years ago the old "New Deal" liberalism couldn't coalace behind certain democratic politicians. An actor, named Ronald Reagan came forward in the vacuum and presented conservatism as an alternative.
For 30 years Americans have bought the conservative con job hook, line and sinker. Now, conservatives are finding it hard to support certain Republican politicians. Same cycle, different party. Consevative will shortly become a pejorative title, and Republicans will be a minority for the next 30 or more years.
Natural law says that all forces return to the natural center of existence. Politically, that means that bipartisanship, compromise, and centrism are the only political forces that actually work.
Please dont think that she speaks for the average conservative.
I know, I know, this msg will languish "awaiting moderation".
I am a conservative Republican, I even I think that Ann Coulter is a nutcase.
Good for Ann Coulter. Of all the candidates, Democrat and Republican, I would put McCain and Clinton on the top of the list for intention distortion of the facts to get political gain. I have never voted Democrat, so this is a hard one. I think McCain is the MOST deceptive of the bunch. I cannot vote for him. Do I have any other options than those two? This may be a first for me.... voting for a Democrat.
I'm sorry, isn't this the same Anne Coulter who said that women shouldn't have the right to vote because they only vote for liberal democrats??? We already knew she was a nut job, now she' s apparently a hypocrite as well. Oh wait, we already knew that too.....
This is in keeping with the brilliant Republican strategy of smearing or denying the careers of military heroes. Soon we'll hear from fellow P.O.W.s saying McCain was never a P.O.W., or that he was but only for a few days, and that he was actually a draft-dodger who spit on returning soldiers. Kerry will get a few laughs out of watching the swift-boaters maneuvering, I'm sure.
The underlying problem here seems to be that 'conservatism' has had its day. Like other 'isms,' like communism or fascism, it's been proven to be an inefficient and dangerous way to administrate a modern industrialized nation. We let Bush/Cheney/Rove, that Cerberus of Conservatism, have everything it wanted; control of Congress, control of the Supreme Court, and the White House all at once, and now the wolf is at the door. They were wrong, misguided and foolish, dangerously wrong.
Newt's power fantasy of a magic Eagle that flew by flapping only its right wing was never something attainable. I think both parties just want a competent manager right now to rein in the economy, fix the awful war mess, and tell our allies the chimp is back in Crawford and the USA is back on track.
Ann doesn't think women should even have the right to vote, so why do we care what she says?
She's right: Hillary is more conservative than a republican.
Wow...finally something smart comes out of her mouth...
I wonder what Ann Coulter's motivation is – to hurt Hillary or McCain. I don't trust what she is saying on the surface. I think she has some hidden agenda for saying this. It doesn't make sense for her to want to help a Democrat. I think her true motivation is to have voters think if a person like Ann Coulter is going to back Hillary Clinton, then I'll vote for someone else. Don't trust Ann Coulter. By saying this, she really intends for the result to be quite different.
Wow. Even though I'm a registered Democrat, I always kind of liked McCain because he's one of the few in Washington to understand the negative influence of Big Money in American politics and to try to do something about it. But if Ann Coulter doesn't like him, now I REALLY like him! Besides, of all issues to challenge him on, she chose his position against torture? Give me a break. I'd take a former prisoner of war's position who has personally witnessed the ineffectiveness of torture more readily than a hateful nut case like Coulter. I will give her credit, though. Like Howard Stern, she always seems to know just the right outrageous thing to say and write to keep people riled up and the next paycheck coming in. I guess the lesson is, if ya ain't got talent, play to the country's half-wits with emotion.
Wow, this is a big surprise. Someone as hardcore conservative as Coulter backing Clinton and to go as far as entertaining the notion of campaigning for her is quite amazing. Also, saying that she is more conservative than McCain has got to be a major blow. However, it may stir up some trouble for Hillary if this isn't played right.
Now, if Rush Limbaugh and other conservative figures follow suit then this may become highly interesting.
Who is she kidding? Coulter wouldn't be able to stand Hillary, and she knows it.
WOW THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE WHAT A KICK IN THE TEETH THAT IS, BUT MCCAIN MADE HIS OWN BED NOW...... YOU KNOW THE REST.
Who cares what she thinks or says? Just another right-wing nut job
This is one of the funniest things I've heard. You go right ahead Ann, Hillary can use all the help she can get. Your McCain-isn't-in-favor-of-torture argument sounds like a winner to me.
OK - where is the real Ann Coulter ?? I am shocked !! I thought I'd never see the day Ann Coulter would support a democrat. But, I must say she's right about one thing. If you want someone who is going to represent democrats and republicans and focus on what's best for the Amerian people and consider the human race – then you have only one choice – Hillary Clinton.
God help this country if McCain becomes president. No one person could cause a divided country like McCain. No one person can destroy our economy like McCain. I doubt McCain will even win the Republican primaries. He won one big state, and hardly even that. It was practically a tie, if Florida would divide it's delegates then Romney would still be on top right now. Romney and Obama are the only candidates capable of improving the economy. Thats what we need right now. Not some crazy warmonger killing us and destroying our nation. We need Romney, We need Obama . If comes down to Hillary and McCain for president, i'm writing in a Romney vote, in good conscious i could never vote for either of them.
Geez, an Ann Coulter endorsement will sink Hillary for sure! Go away!
And we should care what Coulter thinks why?
How about promoting some people on CNN's homepage with more articulate and more rational political opinions?
Somebody please just shut her up
I have to agree with Ms. Coulter's view on not voting another Republican into office this year, however, when has Ms. Coulter ever been the voice of reason??
It figures that CNN would play up Ann's comments. Normally she is treated as a crackpot by the MSM and only used to show conservatives in a bad light.
I disagree with her comments because at the very least John Mc Cain will always put the counties interest first and foremost. Hillary, like Bill before her, would have a focus group approach to foriegn policy. The Clintons are only concerned with their power and the next election cycle.
And at least Republicans know where she stands on many issues and what she will do to get what she wants. The same can't be said of McCain who has taken certain issues and worked almost exclusively with the Democratic party to get a version of a bill that he likes. It would be different if he was writing bills with a significant amount of bi-partisan support however that has not been the case with issues that he has crossed over on. One has to wonder with as much as he points to his war record if that McCain does in fact feel significan't resentment that Bush (a National Guard member) beat him (a combat veteran) in the elections since he almost portrays the view that his veteran status makes him and only him the worth candidate for the Republican party.
In the end a Democratic win in the presidential race will serve as a final warning to the Republican party that change is needed and that they need to return to their roots of fiscal responsibility and other principles on which the Republican party was founded (and this would not include most social issues because as much as the federal government likes to think that is their realm of control it is a state issue as long as it does not involve discrimination based on sex, race, religion, or any other reason). The end result of a Democratic win will be the fact they will have to deal with the Republicans using their own tactics, primarily the fillibuster, agains them.
In the even McCain pulls off a miracle and wins the nomination and the presidency regardless of the fact that he will influence members of the Republican party to not vote it increases the chance of the rise of a 3rd party (conservative or moderate depending on who decides to split from the Republican party). If this were to happen it would only be a matter of time before moderate members of the Democratic party broke off due to the fact that as much as the party would like to deny it there are many members of the party who are fed up with the continued move to the left by the party leadership. If the split was to happen it would be a good thing for America because without a strong moderate and non-decisive leader like Reagen (Only one that comes to mind without doing research since he is obviously not the only one) bi-partisan politics do not exist. It doesn't matter what Pelosi says because at the end of the day currently whichever party has the majority tends to shove their agenda down the other parties throat. And sadly there is no current presidential candidate who has shown themselves to be a true uniter capable of reaching out beyond party lines. The only 2 that truly show any potential to do that are Romney (based on his experience as governor of a Democratic state) and possibly Obama (based purely on the way he speaks and the fact that he doesn't display any level of divisive rehetoric like Clinton does).
Anyone with half a brain that reads this will now want to drop whatever they are doing and support John McCain for President. Any candidate that Ann Coulter supports is a candidate most sane people should not.
I am a Ronald Reagan Republican and I am more than disappointed in Ann Coulter. To think that she would vote for Hillary instead of John McCain is sickening. I do not agree with McCain on all of the issues but he is a good and decent man and is a PATRIOT. He has given more to this country than people like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh ever have. His 5 years as a prisoner of war gives him a unique perspective on torture and war in general. Ann, get off your high horse and join everybody here in the real world. You are giving us Republicans a bad name. I surely hope CNN posts this.
I could barely get through this article because I was laughing so hard. Two points: 1) who cares what Ann Coulter wants since she represents about .0000000001 percent of the American population;
2) do you really think this "whatever she is" would vote for Hillary Clinton....oh, I just can't stop laughing?
Hey Coulter, write a book on your vote and take in another million dollars. What a "call girl".
This is what happens when the party strays from it's platform (limited government, cut spending, lower taxes, individual liberty, no nation building or meddling in foreign affairs). If the party would rally behind Dr. Paul, we would have a true conservative candidate and win the election in a landslide just as we did with President Reagan.
McCain is a RINO and needs to go away. Furthermore, I've been watching this race closely and firmly believe that McCain is displaying signs of dimentia. He is mentally unstable. Just look at his "stay in Iraq for 100 years" statement. Does that sound like a man that is mentally fit? I think not. He may be a war hero but there are plenty of those in retirement homes that don't know the name of their wife. Is that what we want for our nominee?
As if we Democrats needed ANOTHER reason to hope HRC isn't our nominee.
Obama in '08
whether she prefers hillary or not..Hillary will still be the next president
Ann has finally come to her senses. GO HILLARY !!!!
We don't want her. The day that Ann Coulter has anything to do with the Democratic Party is the day the party loses any remaining semblance of respectability. If what Ann says is true(a wildly unlikely thing I'll admit; I don't think she's ever said a true statement in her life), I'll vote for Obama in a second.
All you need to know about this story is that BOTH Hannity and Colmes laughed in her face when she made these comments. Why is CNN even bothering to acknowledge her.
Instead they could at least mention the front page N.Y. Times article yesterday that said that Bill Clinton used his influence to help one of his major supporters to get a uranium mining deal worth billions of dollars. I always wondered what the going price for an ex-presidents help is, now I know: 130 million dollars. Now that's worth writing about.
"Coulter took aim at McCain's positions — particularly his fervent anti-torture stance — and said he and Clinton differ little on the issues."
I'm not a McCain backer by any means but are you trying to tell me that there is actually backlash for thinking that torturing people is wrong?!
It's wrong for other countries to do it but if WE do it that makes it right somehow?
As a liberal/progressive...I didn't know how much they hated McCain...until I listened to Rush and Hannity after Florida. There is a number of ways to look at this. If McCain wins...then he shifts the Republican party back to the center (which apparently destroys the Republican Party). If McCain loses and especially loses to Clinton...then Rush, Hannity, Coulter etc. can help get Clinton in and have 4-years of blaming McCain and attacking Clinton to "rebuild" the Republican Party. The strategy is totally self-serving as though lose their influence if McCain gains control of the party. They also see history backing them...see the whole Ford wins nomination over Reagan...Ford loses to Carter...then Reagan comes back in 4-years and kicks Carter out. That is totally their strategy if Romney can't win (and he can't as long as Huck hangs around).
This has made all of the Right Wing radio much more amusing to listen to...it is going to be very amusing to see what they say when the She-Devil(Clinton) runs against the Devil(McCain)...they have been demonizing both for so long that I think most of their listeners will vote for neither and will stay home. (no matter what they say and if they flip flop...I already hear Rush slipping)
Ann for Hillary????? Yeah, Right! I give that a 5 question mark...but then again...
Will there ever be a WOMAN Presidential candidate or VP running mate in the Republican Party? Wondering how Republican Women are feeling not seeing any women in this presidential race?, and I know an African-American on that side is out of the question but a Clinton-Obama or a Obama-Clinton Democratic ticket?...WOW, that would be Nuclear not to mention Historic. (in terms of Votes & Votes is what will win the Whitehouse). How would Republican women & the few Republican male/female minorities vote when they get in that booth? Party Loyalty or Race/Gender?
I'm amazed that a so called conservative pundit would make such a comment. I quess she feels she will make more money and keep her face on TV longer if Hillary is elected. Traitor is good a word for her, Judas has been replaced with Ann Coulter. She is neither a Republican or Conservative nor is she an American, but simply out for Ann Coulter.
It is a great day when morons Coulter and Rush come out aginst John McCain. These people have been spewing crap out of their pie holes for far too long, hopefully their audienced will wake up and realize that common sense is a lot better that principles. Until they lose their audience they are gonna keep spewing crap. WAKE UP PEOPLE
Proof positive that Hillary is a war hawk that will keep our men and women in Iraq and who knows where else indefinitely.
Oh please Ann, vote for a republican, the democrats don't want you either
What a great endorsement for Clinton!
Fervent anti torture stance! Let's see.......who in the entire city of Washington D.C. is more qualified to take a stance on torture? Read McCains biography. Totured beyond belief, Hanoi Hilton. And you Ann. You were probably playing with your Barbie dolls! Give us a break!
you go ann...I'M VOTING FOR OBAMA
Another poor attempt of the conservative Republican media to ignite the base. Ann, like Sean Hannity, is a Mitt Romney supporter. Trying to slam McCain by saying she would vote and campaign for Hillary Clinton. And it the same breath pull Hillary Clinton's name closer to the conservative base of the Republican Party. Heh heh heh heh! Sorry, i can see right through that weak plan of Ann Coulter. There may be major disagreements I have against McCain but he is a Republican regardless what you say.
Obama in '08!
this is a ploy. this woman is so despised by so many people, that whoever she supports people will shy away from. Well done. There's no way in hades she'll really support Hillary.
So much for a Hillary Clinton backlash, Obama fans. Even the Republicans know that she is the best choice for president.
Hillary '08
Her opinion means no more than Chuck's, Oprah's, Barbra's, Arnold's, Rudy's, Peter's, Paul's or Mary's. Why do these egotists think Americans need to know who they support? I think Americans can make up their own minds. Let's stop trying to brainwash the public with this nonsense.
It's bad enough we have to hear all the campaign ads - now the nobodys are joining in.
Democrats, ask yourself are they going to start the Iraq war hearings if Hillary becomes president. Are you reading and listening to the hearings that are currently going on in regards to the Iraq war, the republicans are. Hearings about the Iraq war didn't just start, think about the disclosure of the 963 lies. Iraq war hearings will be a distraction for Hillary as a president which will include her and the business of the economy, health care, education and an end to the Iraq war will be put on the back burner and 4 years later we will have a republican president. Obama as president, who voted no to the Iraq war, will not be part of this baggage. Think about it people, vote Obama if you want someone who is ready on day 1.
I am shocked that Ann Coulter will actually support Hillary Clinton, who is normally a favorite target of her attacks. I also think that Hillary is a much better candidate than John McCain and am supporting her. Has hell frozen over?
OH GREAT....Im a Hillary supporter and having this snake in her corner doesnt help at all. Im going to bury this story in the back of my mind and pretend i never read it! lol
Question is, will Coulter's endorsement of Clinton in the General Election really help her? I think that would turn off more liberals than turn on Conservatives.
Who cares what Coulter or Limbaugh say? Isn't this a democracy where the majority rules, the people have voted and that is what matters. Not what entertainers say.
I find it utterly pathetic that Conservatives seem currently more concerned about what the outcome of this election will do for their party than for the United States of America. But, if the far-right are shying away from McCain, it's good to know that he's simultaneously gaining ground among more moderate members of the Republican party. Time to start betting on into which end of spectrum the majority of America actually falls .
Clearly the Republican machine is truly worried about the prospect of a candidate they can't possibly predict. McCain's last debate (and possibly entire political career) shows he'll fight for principle, even if it hurts himself, let alone the party with whom he already holds a less-than-amicable relationship. Behold the machine in action, tossing out totally absurd, utterly false, and intentionally fear-inducing statements to "motivate" their base into doing what they'd like them to do.
Ms. Coulter has really lost it. To even suggest that she is a better judge of what constitutes torture over retired Captain and former POW John McCain is shameful. I was on the fence myself concerning this bonifide AMerican hero,, but she has pushed me firmly into Senator McCain's camp.
While I can understand Ms. Coulter's anger against McCain, I seriously doubt that Hillary would welcome her on the campaign trail.
Ann Coulter has a most unfortunate way of saying things that I find offensive from a human point of view. Her views are extreme to me, but more importantly I just don't approve of the way she says them.
I do agree however that Hillary Clinton is the better candidate. John McCain is just not right for Pres. even if you are republican. I do think that Hillary Clinton is much more middle of the road than either McCain or Obama who both represent extremes on either side. I don't think Americans in the majority will back either McCain or Obama. McCain for his war forever and Obama for his war no more stance. Even though I do want our troops home from Iraq, there are real threats in this world and America has real enemies. We just have to find better ways of dealing with these threats. Still our military is a key component in any negotiation. America has important interests around the world. Barack would be too reluctant and McCain too eager to use military force.
If right-wing nut jobs like Coulter and Limbaugh are anti-McCain, then even a registered Democrat such as myself should take a good look at him as a solid candidate.
Keep in mind that Coulter and Limbaugh depend on having an "enemy" to keep their paychecks coming in, and to have material to feed their mouth-breathing followers. Think of the field day that they would have with a female president, let alone one who happens to be married to Bill Clinton! Of course Coulter would support Hillary- it means more easy money in her pocket for the next four to eight years!
Having a veteran legislator like John McCain, who is a leader of the Republican Party and a decorated war hero, and yet has the audacity to speak out against such anti-American activities such as the use of torture, would make it so much harder for Coulter and Limbaugh to practice their hate-filled demagoguery.
It means these conservative talking heads would actually have to start putting rational thought behind their arguments. God forbid.
Does anyone really value Ann Coulter's thoughts or opionions? I never have and never will. She is a perfect example of people dividing the country vs. uniting the country to address and solve our problems. She doesn't deserve one minute of publicity. Why doesn't she focus her energy on helping solve our problems. On second thought, if she did that, then she would be out of a job.
Will someone please tell me why anyone should be listening to people like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh anyway? Let the PEOPLE decide who the best candidates are. Democrat, Republican, Independent or otherwise, Americans need to start thinking for themselves. For too long we've let commentators, authors, and celebrities do the decision making for us and look where it has gotten us?! Wake up America!!! For the sake of all we hold dear as Americans.....register to vote, educate yourselves, vote your conscience and try hard to ignore the rants of megalomaniacal "icons" who have nothing more than the promotion of their own professional brand(s) at heart.
I'm sorry, Ann Coulter is a total joke. She will say anything to get attention, and seems to love that people hate her. While her statements don't surprise me because she's basically a shock political celeb, it does show that the republicans don't stand a chance.
Its about time the Repubs come to the RIGHT side!
Who cares what Ann Coulter thinks? What qualifications does she have to tell us how we should cast our vote and advise us on matters of national importance. As near as I can tell her experience consists of clerking for a judge and working in a Senator's office. These are hardly expert qualifications.
If this woman came up to you on the street and offered her "expert" advice on how you were raising your child, you would probably tell her where she could put her opinion. I suggest that you do the same with her opinion on who to vote for in the election.
If her qualifications are all it takes to get people to vote a certain way, then I'll tell you that I am a licensed professional, with many years of experience in working with state and local governments. I am an officer in the military, and have led troops into Afghanistan. I think my qualifications equal those of Ms. Coulter and I say that John McCain understands that a President must exert leadership over politics, must put his country ahead of his party, and has the character and integrity to carry us through the challenges of the next 4-8 years.
"I think she would be stronger on the war on terrorism."
Now I know Coulter needs to be committed. With more comments like that, she will help McCain be elected! Here we have a Naval Officer who has come out for MORE troops for Iraq, who has championed the cause of the Fight Against Terrorism, and now she says Clinton (the wife of the Viet-Nam dodger) is more ready to lead us in the Fight??? She's either gone nuts or is a PLANT for McCain.
Who cares what Coulter has to say, she is irrelevant anyways...
Brilliant! Another ridiculus comment from Coulter just to get her name in the press. Hopefully with another 30 seconds of fame her 15 minutes will be up and she will just go away.
"said he and Clinton differ little on the issues" oh, and so well informed! Yes please go campaign for Hill.
Somebody tell her to get a life!
So what does John McCain know that Ann Coulter doesn't? Not much, except that he has experienced more in his battered flesh than she has in her worst dreams. He knows what real war, not talk war, is. He knows the difference between winning and losing. He knows not to disemblowel the fighting spirit of the troops by bringing them home in another disgraceful defeat. Alone among candidates, and would be commanders in chief, he predicted that our "light footprint " strategy in Iraq could not work and the current surge would work.
Compare that to Clinton's famous lecture to Gen. David Patraeus that sucess in the surge would require a "willing suspension of disbelief."
So how great it will be to have a commander in chief who actually knows what the heck he is commanding.
And how to be easy to be brave and arrogant and all knowing, brushing away a man's true heroics like so many dead flies, Miss Coulter, when one is safely in the arena of hot-air journalism, not of life and death.
Rush and Ann keep talking.... but does anyone still listen? I Guess I'm a RINO by Ann's standard... I seem to remember that Republicans were NOT in favor of getting into other people pocketbook or their business.... but I guess that is no longer the case with the Ann/Rush crowd.
Here's to seeing a new Republican Morning! Go McCain!
Oh, now Ann Coulter will support Hillary after slamming her repeatedly? This proves the point that these political pundits are full of hot air. Ann Coulter seems to say anything that will get her press (Does she have another mean-spirited book she is trying to push?).
It's amazing that Conservative Republicans can't compromise on a more moderate candidate even if he has a great chance of winning, but they expect Moderate Republicans to stay home and support their postiions. If just proves how little integrity they really have.
Can you (the media) stop paying attention to this ignorant person? Everytime she opens her mouth she lowers the collective IQ of anybody within earshot!
Peace through strength!

Coulter said she is prepared to campaign on Clinton's behalf should McCain win the party's nomination? Riiiiggghhht. Clinton, if she's smart, wouldn't let this Coulter-Creature within 100 yards of her! Coulter - what a pathetic piece of garbage.
Thanks, Man Coulter! Not that I even considered it from day one, but you have just given me another reason not to vote for Hillary! Can't wait to see you, your "junk "and your Adam's apple out campaigning for her. Maybe you can get in on her live town hall on Monday night.
I've always said the Clinton years were Repubican-lite and you've confirmed that fact. Hillary wants it every way when ask to clarify and her way when she's challanged. Kinda like you, Ann except she a Republican in Democrats' clothing.
No one with a valid perspective on any political issue cares what Ann Coulter thinks about anything.
Wouldn't her endorsement have more of a negative impact than positive? I am conservative and I am republican, but even I notice that this woman is an egomanical, self serving talking head who, quite honestly, isn't very bright. The only skill she seems to have is making enough people made to generate some headlines.
I'm so pleased that Coulter is quasi endorsing Clinton. I wonder if Hillary will bring Ann along on the campaign trail with her?
Anyone but Clinton '08!
I feel just the opposite. I’m originally from the Midwest (Ohio), and I believe I retain my Midwestern values, common sense, and balance. I’m moderately conservative, pro-choice, and while I consider myself politically independent and don’t vote a straight party ticket, the fact is I’ve voted Republican in every presidential election since 1968. Now, however, I am ready to vote for a Democrat for president, and I know there are many others like me. But I will not vote for Hillary, and if she is nominated, I will vote for her Republican opponent.
I’m ready for a change, and by that I mean not only a change from an administration gone awry, but also a change for something wholesome and energetic. Ethics, values, and straightforwardness are important to me, and Ms. Clinton brings weighty baggage in those areas. Intentionally but subtly putting race into the contest, then waging an unscrupulous campaign in Florida and touting it as a victory are further examples. Most of all I’m put off by the “it’s all about me” attitude she purveys; she could make a great contribution to the nation by remaining to become a powerful, effective leader in the Senate, but of course that was never her intent. When I’ve been asked who I like for president and I respond, “Anybody but Hillary,” others around me invariably agree. So count me among the “anybody but Hillary” army I sense is out there, something the Democrats need to take into account as they vote next Tuesday. So despite McCain's liberal leanings, he's the man if she's the woman; otherwise it's Obama.
Oh God!...This is definitely a bad omen for Hillary!...lol
talk about a uniter... can any other candidate get votes from both fanatical "conservatives" and mainstream liberals?
Laura Ingraham officially announced today that she would be voting for Mitt Romney. These so called “King Makers” (elite conservative talk show hosts) continue to divide conservatives whereby liberal candidates walk away with the elections. People like Ingraham don’t understand they are turning the voters off with their underhanded slandering of conservative candidates in support of their pre selected candidate within the party. The Democrats win every time the conservative talk show hosts try to support one conservative candidate over another. It turns the voters OFF!
Why does anyone really care about what Ann Coulter has to think or say. I think you will find she has fewer people following her these days. Her venomous style is repulsive!
Ann: What a shocker to read those words. But u8pon reflection, i feel the same way. If the republican party want to try to shove this milk toast politician down our throats, i will vote for Hillary, too.
This proves Ann Coulter takes after Brittany Spears
Ann–I nominate you for V.P. candidate along with Hillary–AND you could convince the world that you both want the best for the U.S. and humanity–thanks for your insight into what is going on in politics
I will not vote for Clinton now...
What a millstone for poor Hillary. Who will Ann C. support when Obama gets the Democratic nod?
If anything else was necessary to convince me not to vote for Hillary, having that nitwit Anne Coulter in her corner would have cinched it.
She's nothing more than a right-wing Rosie O'Donnell.
re: ann coulter
Though not for the same reasons as Ann Coulter, I am equally prepared to vote for Hillary over McCain in November's election.
I became a Republican because of Bill Clinton, and I am prepared to switch parties again in response to McCain's disgraceful performance on Wednesday evening. Hillary' articulate, poised and professional demeanor in Thursday's debate with Obama convinced me that she is the best candidate for President.
If Ann Coulter, Dr. Dobson and Rush Limbaugh are against McCain because he is against torture by the US government... then that should tell you something about those people... and not McCain.
How can anyone who believes in the principles of the Constitution of the United States of America, the moral foundations upon which this nation was founded, our long history of struggle against tyrrany, support the use of torture by our government?
Who ARE these people and what is wrong with them?
The more I hear about the reasons why these people are against McCain, the more I want to support him.
I think Ann's backing of Hillary only helps John McCain. Thanx Ann – Could you help Obama as well. I'm sure they're just sitting there hoping you'll call (NOT!!!)
I'm not quite sure how I feel about this! I dislike McCain too, but voting for Hillary would be against every moral I have!! I would just choose not to vote should either of them make the candidacy!
I don't get it when people say, "if you didn't vote, you can't complain!!" Oh yes I can!! If McCain is our nominee, not only will I not vote, but I'll sure raise my voice about why! With such a mediocre choice (and I'm going light by saying mediocre), I have all the right in the world to complaign about the sheer stupidity of the republican base, and how they have sold our conservative values down the river!
Who cares about Ann Coulter ? She is irrational and doens't know which is right and wrong . She is making a living as a staunch conservative. Nobody pays attention to her.
conservatives are trying to distance themselves from mccain so he will have a chance to win. they know if they support mccain it will hurt his chances since the country in looking for a "change". do not vote republican no matter who the GOP "supports"
Wow I was shocked to see this ...Ann Coulter said she'd back Hillary Clinton over John McCain. This is scary . I think I will have to move to Europe if Hillary is in the white house. I love my country but this is nuts.
I wonder if this will take away any votes for Clinton. I'm sure there are people that hate Coulter enough.
No thanks Ann. We don't want you on our team. Go find a remote isalnd to live on.
I think Ms. Coulter is trying to scare Independants from voting HIllary by calling her conservative so that Obama will gain the voters, become the nominee and lose the election. Tricky girl, Ann.
This proves democrats better go with Obama; an Ann Coulter endorsement is the death of any unity or independent appeal or movement, and will drive Democratic voters away from the party. if she's campaigning for Hillary, you can bet many Democrats and all independents will side with McCain.
I don't think I can take anything that Ann Coulter says seriously. Really, she prefers Clinton over McCain? Her commentary is often bloated with high volume hatred for anything liberal and/or democratic. The scathing words she uses in her books to describe those whose views clash with her own are horrendous (and, I'm holding back). If anything, her commentary on these political news shows is laughable. She's so over-the-top, it's funny. This, too, is just some sort of poltical commentary stunt to get people thinking. Here's to you, Ann...keep the laughs coming.
So Ann Coulter opposes McCain because he thinks torture is bad? Watch out Hillary, with friends like Coulter, who needs enemies?
Ahh yes.....
Bring on the crazy!
Having Coulter against him should give McCain a nice bump.
McCain is a Liar. Not only did he vote against President Bush’s tax cuts and a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, Mr. McCain has also supported embryonic stem cell research and stricter environmental regulation. He fought for looser immigration rules. He championed campaign finance rules that many on the right consider a violation of free speech. He made a deal with Democrats to break a deadlock on judicial nominations that many on the right considered near treasonous.
I feel terrible for Hillary, an endorsement by this wreck just can't be good.
Does anyone still take her seriously? This is so transparently just an attack on Clinton.
Ann Coulter has once again made no sense. John McCain is an American Hero and will continue the war against Islamic radicalism. John McCain is clearly conservative on many issues, he is just moderate about them. He has a great deal of character. Perhaps Ms. Coulter finds an affinity for Hiliary Cliniton's level of character.
The "San Francisco Gate" is actually the "San Francisco Chronicle." The SFGate.com web site is only the address for the Chronicle's online presence.
Oh Ann Coulter. The right-wing poster girl. Hillary certainly has some conservative values and I love her for it. She is not, however, more conservative than McCain (Hello! Foreign Policy!!) and this is not an endorsement I want as a strong supporter of Hillary.
SHE ONLY WANTS CLINTON OVER MCCAIN SO SHE CAN WHINE FOR 4 MORE YEARS AND SELL MORE BOOKS. WE'RE SOOOOOOOO OVER HER AND THE SHOCK FACTOR. SHE NEEDS TO GO HOME AND AGGRAVATE HER MAN, or woman, or whomever else will listen to the WHINE
Well, people say they want something different, then go out and vote for the McCains and the Hillaries, which offer us business as usual. B. Hussein Obama would at least do some things differently, even if it is because of his inexperience and naivety. We had some candidates in this race that truly offered a different direction in domestic and foreign policy such as Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, and even John Edwards, but instead the public looks to be set to choose the status quo. Hillary vs. McCain? I'll just stay home that night.
Oh she's just trying to scare democrats and liberal independents out of voting for Hillary.
Does anyone really care what Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter think? They keep whining and saying there is a "huge" backlash against McCain, but yet he keeps winning primaries and gathering endorsements. Maybe the real backlash is against right wing blowhards and neocons who have had their man in the white house for the past 7 years.
This is one endorsement that Obama clearly doesn't need to be envious of. I'm sure McCain is probably happy to do without it too.
Rush, Ann and the rest of right-wing movement “superstars” are just crying out loud as they are witnessing their influence is disappearing. They made tons of cash poisoning real conservatives with divisive issues and hate towards rest of the country. Their time is gone, most of Republicans finally figured out that extremism is hurting the country and Ann, Hanity and Rush just can’t accept that their cash cow is milked out.
Let's review: Mitt Romney is the only true conservative left in the race, based upon the actions of the candidates. It's too bad the early caucuses/primaries that the media focuses on so fervently are in "blue" states. New Hampshire voted for Gore and Kerry, so it's no surprise that McAmnesty won there. It's a miracle that Mitt Romney did as well there as he did. Iowa went for Gore in 2000, and Bush in 2004, but by less than one percent (751,957 to 741,898), so it's no surprise that Huckabee, the evangelical who leaned on anti-Mormon bigotry, won there. Once again, it's a miracle that Mitt Romney did as well there as he did, and got as many Evangelicals as he did to cross the line and vote for a Mormon. Wyoming, a solidly red state, went strongly for Mitt Romney, just as it went strongly for Bush in 2000 and 2004, voting strongly against Gore and Kerry. Mitt Romney is the only conservative front runner, as well as the only conservative with a snowball's chance of holding together Reagan's conservative coalition to conquer the Hillary Clinton/Barack Obama threat to America.
Ann Coulter just said that because she wants Hillary in the run off. Anne knows Hillary will be defeated in a runoff because over 50% of the country already hates Hillary.
maybe she is just saying that so that ppl will think oh she suppports "clinton so clinton isnt a good democrat" and vote for obama.
as long as its a democrat who becomes president i think we will be ok if its republican then i think it should be mccain
I agree with Roland. This is a stupid and misleading headline. It is clear that Coulter was trying to show her dissatisfaction with McCain being a real conservative.
Thanks, but no thanks, Coulter-geist. No self-respecting Democrat would in any way want your vote, after your years of cynical lies, outrageous insults, and anti-American behavior. Here's a suggestion: Disappear...your 15 minutes of fame stretched well beyond what anyone could have expected, but...it's over!
That seals it. If Coulter is voting for anybody, I am voting for the opposition.
Obama's people have to be LOVING this one.
Ann is a moron Who cares.
I agree with Jeb B.: Coulter is radical. She is an extreme, and she is to be feared. She's almost as bad as the radical Islamist terrorists that we hunt. She only spues hate and contempt for those who do not share the EXACT same views as her. and work for her sole cause. I mean, what kind of a true Conservative has a hissy fit and crosses the line to the Liberal camp just because she doesn't agree with one Republican candidate. That tells you she's going against the GOP. McCain is a moderate Conservative and that's why I like him and will vote for him. And, by the way, let's all hold Ann Coulter to the fire and make sure she votes for Hillary come general election day when McCain and Clinton square off. I bet Hillary is sick to her stomach. Ann Coulter is a disgrace to humanity and to Conservatives as a whole!
WOW
I disagree Pete!
Everyone has their opinion and EVERYONE will come around to what I have been projecting for many years since Hillary ran for the senate.
You are right girl she is better than McCain and we are in for 8 great years ahead after this BAD administration.
We need a tough woman at the top kicking some good butt.... Have you ever thought of running...
WOMEN WOMEN WOMEN... It's your turn.. I know you will do much better! After all who has been managing Amrican families for years! WOMEN!
I detect a ruse. While Coulter is probably not wild about McCain, she is wild about Republicans. I don't believe she is for Hillary, but wants Dems to think she is in order to drive them to Obama, who she probably thinks is less-electable. I have never believed her in the past, and I don't believe her now.
the democrats have no chance it doesnt even matter who the republicans run. One the country isnt ready for a women or a minority president just yet. Plus CNN is a full fledge democratic new station or as I like to call it the Communist New Network
Why do people bother with the likes of Ann Coulter? Stop listening, stop giving her a platform to spout her ridiculous ideas and hateful sputterings – she'll just shrivel up and blow away. Because really, folks, she's got nothing to offer except an insatiable, sick need to call attention to herself by hurting others. How pathetic!
Obama is more liberal than Hillary, who is a moderate. Obama is NOT better than Hillary. Ann's point is that McCain is too liberal for conservative Republicans.
You Obama supporters are excited, I understand, but, you are also way off base by putting Hillary down all the time. I look forward to February 5 and beyond, maybe that will calm you all down.
Hillary will be an agent of change, because she will be the first woman President in America. I know some of ya'll hate that notion, but, get use to it.
Fired up, ready to go vote for Hillary.
Didn't Ms. Coulter say that women have no place in politics? I surely don't think that Senator Clinton would be coveting her endorsement.
Katherine A. Bell, if what you say is true – that a candidate who is elected President should have served in the military – then how do you explain the current mess in the white house? Surely you wouldn't suggest that Bush actually served in the military.
Only 354 more days.....
anne, u foolish woman.....conservative v. liberal.....this is pathetic, only true american patriots care about the well being of a country, not the well being of a party...thanks for letting us know why we should vote McCain lol...good job anne
Who really cares what this blowhard thinks? Does anyone, republicans included, listen to her anymore? She's proven time and time again how ridiculous she is.
Don't believe it! She wants you to vote for Hillary. That's because Hilary is the nominee Republicans think they have the best chance at beating.
Nice try Coulter-geist (hope you don't mind me borrowing that name:) .
It's great that someone finally shares my philosophy on this. Someone who can actually persuade others to do the same thing. WE as conservatives can not let people like John McCain believe that he can hijack the Republican Party.
I also would vote Hillary over McCain. I am currently a strict Romney supporter.
Why does this matter? Why would anyone care what this fool thinks about anything? She has said that Jews should convert to Christianity to be more American, and that blacks and women should not be allowed to vote because they vote primarily Democrat. I regard her opinions as highly as I regard those of holocaust-deniers.
why should we listen or care about this moron?
God, that is one ugly woman. She makes Janet Reno look good.
This is fairly insignificant as far as news, but it is one more shining example that the two parties have come down to three republicans and a democrat. Obama is the only candidate who even offers logical plans. You people really want more of the same? I'm sure you'll get what you deserve.
Guys: Don't take this so seriously!
This person is the Queen of Crackpots. Trust me, Hillary is very different than McCain, and McCain is most certainly a thoughtful and respected Republican.
Ann Coulter has trouble getting her name out there, so she did this. it is actually funny, and trust me, no way would ANY self respecting candidate, GOP or DEM allow her anywhere near them.
Take a breath, laugh, and ignore this crazy lady. She is just doing this for the PR, and nothing else, and it worked! Look at all of us!
If you want to be in Iraq for 100 years, vote for McCain. If you want to get out, and solve the domestic problems we face today, vote for Clinton. If you are a Coulter fan, have her committed, maybe with Britney.
Now, now, Ann. You must be really desperate to get into the news. Another hateful book is coming?
I still vote for Hillary, in spite of you. You are not good enough to wash her feet.
Who is Ann Coulter and who cares what she thinks, you have your own mind.
For those of you Hillary lovers out there that were complaining that the press was not publishing Hillary's endorsements...well here are 2: Janet Reno and Anne Coulter.
I guess divisive personalities just naturally gravitate to one another
Also I don't think this anti-semitic homphobe, nor her pill-popping, amoral, three-time-divorcée friend Rush Limbaugh, are in any position to critique anybody else's conservatism.
Mr McCain has confessed his love for Jesus Christ. I have yet to see either her or Rush do the same.
I should also say that the only reason that Romney is not winning is because Huckabee is dividing the vote. Huckabee will not say it, but he would rather be six-feet under before having a Mormon as his president. Put him on a lie detector test and see how it comes out...
she is going to tell a POW about torture? Some one should kill her. Seriously kill her.
Oh come on. Coulter has only one goal here. She wants to influence both parties. She doesn't want McCain or Clinton to run... becasue she knows who will win that race.
Clinton/Obama 08! All the way...
IT WOULD BE A SCARY THOUGHT, TO GIVE ANY VALUE WHAT SO EVER OF WHAT ANN COULTER THOUGHT! I WOULD RATHER HAVE HER CAMPAIGNING FOR THE OPPOSITION, IF I WAS RUNNING FOR OFFICE!
If everyone will calm down, Ann has a very good point and in fact is saying the very thing that many of my conservative friends and family are saying.
If McCain is the nominee, I know many conservatives who plan to stay home (or vote Democrat) in November rather than vote for a lying, smug, liberal and dim-witted traitor.
Who cares what this IDIOT wants......or thinks...
I have been hearing this all week. Republican's are going to take a Democrat ballot and vote for Clinton because, they feel they have a better chance getting a Republican back into office if she is the Democrat candidate then they would if Obama was chosen. The plot thickens
I have never been a fan of Ann Coulter, just because of her far right views. But I just gained some respect of her coming out with this statement. I was brought up being a Democrat and have stuck with party lines ever since. I think that this just shows that Hillary Clinton is the most qualified for the job. Seeing that a true hardcore Republican is willing to vote for Hillary, just shows that she is able to bring the country together. I will be voting for Hillary in the primaries, and in November after she wins the nomination. I have been a New York State resident my whole life, and have seen tremendous changes and support for Hillary throughout the state since her win as Senator in 2000. She IS the most qualified candidate, a highly intelligent woman, and I cannot wait to see the things that she will accomplish in the white house.
She said it the best, "It took a Clinton to clean up after one Bush, and it's going to take another Clinton to clean up after another Bush."
SHUT THE HELL UP OBAMA FANS! HILLARY IS A DEMOCRAT NOT A LIBERAL! IT JUST SHOWS YOU HOW DUMB OBAMA FANS CAN BE! THEY SIP ON STARBUCKS AND HAVE NO WORRIES IN THE WORLD AND JUST SAY WELL OBAMA IS HOT AND REALLY CUTE OH AND BLACK LIKE WILL SMITH! PALEEEEESE! AMERICA GET UP AND VOTE FOR RESULTS NOT HYPE! OH AND OBAMA FUNDED THE WAR OK AND SAID THAT HE WOULD HAVE MAYBE VOTED DIFFERENTLY! GET THE FACTS BECAUSE IF HILLARY DOES GIVE YOU FACTS OBAMA AND HIS FANS YELL RACE! I AM SICK OF THIS AND SO IS MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS! OH AND BY THE WAY WE ARE BLACK, VERY BLACK, 100% BLACK! HILLARY 08!
I don't care who she supports. Why does anyone give her press? She's nuts.
Ann Coulter choosing Hillary over McCain? Moveon.org endorsing Obama over Hillary? Suddenly Hillary and McCain seem so much better. All joking aside, both Hillary and McCain are the better choices for their party's nomination because they are closer to the center like most Americans. Now if Rush Limbaugh would endorse Obama my choice would be clear.
Ann Coulter...need I say more. Does anyone care what she thinks? Can she not find something in her life to make her at least appear happy. A seemingly unhappy individual.
Hillary 08
Ha, Ha! Poor "Tranny Annie"! Her own party isn't right wing enough for her anymore. Maybe she should found a new American Fascist Party and run for Pres. with Limbaugh as her V.P. They are both totally out of step with the majority of Americans, and this proves it. They are now relegated to the lunatic fringe where they belong.
I have a lot of respect for Huckabee and his conservative values but I think Huckabee supporters need to realize that he does not have the economic ideas to win in the general election. Instead of splitting the conservative vote I think we need to look at which conservative would have the best chance for a win against the Democrats and come together to support Mitt Romney as the true voice of the Republican party. If the Huckabee and Romney camps came together we could blow McCain and his liberal views out of the water! Please put your values and support behind Romney so he can represent your views as a viable candidate. I know Huckabee supporters are frustrated with the lack of media coverage but it just gets to a point where we need to use the time to really get to know the candidates that truly have a chance. At this point in the primary I think it is a distraction to have to still listen to Ron Paul’s rants in the debates instead of hearing more distinction between the top tier. By now we need to be focusing our energies and be looking to the general election and how to stop the Democrats. Conservatives, it is time to unite!
Vote for Romney!
Since when does any reasonable person care about the opinions of Ann Coulter? Let alone CNN devoting prime web space to her nonsense. Maybe Ann can find a job in Hillary's white house babysitting former Presdient Clinton.
While I agree that McCain would be terrible for our country, Coulter, as usual, is full of you know what (clue: it ain't wisdom). She's a professional contrarian, that's all. Saying she'll vote for Hilliary is just another contrived statement to get people talking about her (and I'm playing right into her trap). McCain is, for all intents and purposes, a Neocon. With the exception of his personally motivated feeling about torture (the one issue on which he's correct), he is almost totally in line with GOP policy. But for some reason the GOP hates him. They really do. On that point, Coulter is in line with her Party.
If one has watched McCain during all this, other than his political leanings, my biggest concern (and I'm not being facetious) is that he appears to be on the cusp of senility. Frankly, Reagan was enough. And Bush started off brain-dead, so I'm not being ageist.
But wait!!!!!! Didn't Bill Clinton say McCain and Hillary were very, very close friends. Hmmm don't get the reason for concern in these posts.
Wow. She must really want some attention.
Is this Hillarys worst nightmare or what!!
God, Ann Coulter is disgusting. Just seeing her face makes me wanna puke. She'll say anything to get attention. She's all about shock value, and since her usual foul-mouthed bigotry and making fun of the ill isn't getting in the press anymore, this is the only thing she could think of to make headlines. Apparently it's working.
She's got you all fooled people. This is absolutely meaningless.
And the second seal was open....
Who cares what or whom Ann Coulter thinks or backs? Her backing a certain candidate does not change my vote.
Ann Coulter may be wrong about a lot of issues but I understand why she is picking Hillary over McCain. She is hoping to get Democrats to throw their support behind Obama, because she knows that Hillary is a much more formidable candidate for the Democratic Party. Obama has never done anything of substance and is filled with empty promises. Republicans like her are licking their chops right now.
Marilyn,
What you are failing to realize is that Ann Coulter, like Rush, Sean Hannity, and myself are conservatives first, and Republican second. That is why this is NOT a ruse. Voting for Hillary will save the Republican party from being taken over by liberal Republicans.
There you have it! Clinton is demonstrating an ability to attract a more diverse group of supporters than Obama. In an Clinton-McCain contest, the Democrats stand a better chance of winning than they do in an Obama-McCain match-up. I should add that I think a Clinton-Obama ticket would be super and could potentially give the Democrats a grip on the White House for 16 years if Obama is elected President following Hillary's two terms in office.

Comments: Watching the previous debate and last night debate, it is clear
That Hillary Clinton is the most qualified to run our country. She
can balance our budget, fix the economy crisis, health care,
bring the world together. She can make the change! Vote for
Hillary Clinton and give her eight years and she will bring prosperity
to our country like President Clinton. It will take eight years to
fix all these problems. For those people who lost their homes,
they are responsible for their debt. They knew what they were
doing. Tax payers should not be responsible to pay these debt
of sub-prime loan.
Some of the DEMS, like the Clintons, NEVER LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES !!!
I really think it is going to take the active support for Hillary for the DEMS to lose the White Huse again; remember GORE and KERRY? How short minded can some of the DEMS really be in this nation. Gore and Kerry (each a stronger candidate than Hillary) were the "accidents" of the Clintons– the Dems lost each time!!
Currently, the Dems are celebrating the "huge voters" out there for them because of the Independents (like myself), moderate Republicans, and young voters who are coming out in huge numbers BECAUSE of Obama. Let us wait until the Dems put up Hillary as the nominee and the hole will run dry of voters!!
Wise and competent Dems should simply stay AWAY from the Clintons; the Clintons are the sources of "curse" for the Dems!!
No Clinton, not even Bill, can restore the ECONOMIC fortunes of the past; the conditions of the past that made that happen (e.g., Internet burst), are simply NOT there today. The Clintons burnt their bridges (e.g., excesive scandals) before they left (in disgrace) the White House. Hillary has been making strong enemies since.
why would anyone care what Coulter wants? yikes.
I'm a republican and if Ann's against McCain, he's got my vote. She should not be the face of the republican party.
How come nobody is talking about a Clinton-Coulter ticket?
I am glad to finally see conservative female voters give Senator Clinton their consideration, respect, and vote.
While Clinton is a proud Democrat, she has and will continue to work with both Republicans and Independents to improve the United States of America.
As the first woman president, she will recognize the importance of welcoming support from both sides, rather than risk isolating herself or the Democratic Party. Therefore the values and interests of conservatives will be valued.
Although many Americans seem unwilling to consider voting for Senator Clinton, a second look is warranted, and voters might just find themselves pleasantly surprised.
Ann Coultier is a terrible, terrible person.
Thank-you Randi Rhodes...err... I mean Ann Coulter
I have been a conservative Republican longer than Ann Coulter has been alive. I find that both she and Rush Limbaugh will say anything to gain media attention. Rush Limbaugh has admitted to me that he is in the entertainment business and does not even take hinself that seriously. We shouldn't.
Ann Coulter does not speak for me. If Ann is for Hillary, all the more reason to vote for John McCain.
By the way, someone should ask Ann if she has figured out where to vote legally yet. She won't be much help to Hillary if she can't find her polling place again.
Mr. Coulter can vote for who ever he wants to.
Any person that would care what Coulter would have to say, or would take her opinion into consideration when voting, especially when determining who should be the President of the United States, should maybe reconsider whether they have enough intelligence to even be voting.
Ann Coulter should roommate with Britney. They can speak in English accents to each other.
Don't fall for it Hillary....this is a plot by the Obama camp....
Obama2008
People like Coulter and Limbaugh are confused and confusing especially to the 29 percent of 'Log Cabin' Republicans. I think the bottom line may be if you feel you may be in the wrong Democrat or Republican camp, you probably should cast your vote for Obama. There are several people here where I work that are really fed up with both sides and will vote for someone like Obama that appears to be able to facilitate a change of direction.
She wants Hillary so she can sell more books ripping her. She and Rush are finding out Republicans have a mind of their own and these two don't have near the pull they thought they did. Now they are both acting like little spoiled brats who didn't get their way or in this case their guy. From the bottom of my Republican, conservative heart I say Be QUIET and GO AWAY!
Who cares what Anne Coulter wants.
Please tell Coulter that nobody cares what she thinks. She can take her support and shove it up her fascist butthole.
Who are these people who attempt to pigeon holding an individual and insisting the future president be completely 100% this or that and use only the consertative half of their brain to think with. What about a canidate who has an appreciation for a more complete approach to problem solving. With Mcain's life experiences you gotta know that he's a conservative whitch to me means self-reliant and determined.and comming back from disasters and climbing out of buckets of kaka and having the gonades to continue fighting for what he believes in. At least he does it up front and in your face rather than behind your back and in the dark. Lets face it, a liberal would not have survived any of the stuff my man Mcain was able to. Sure s hell not a Hilliary, Billy boy, or Romeny. Mcain needs to get a bucket of soap and have his mama wash out the mouth of all these little cave dwelling pundits who would dare to speak for the world. And shame on all the folks who are listening and feeding on the week old raw meat that is the only kind these people can scrounge up. Thank you...a consevative. Take care and have a nice darn day.
Opinions are like -holes, everybody has one.
Just stick to name-calling and mudslinging. That's all your good at!!!
No Republican could, in good conscience, vote for John McCain for anything. He is a sham! A Trojan Horse for the democrats and the so-called mainstream media. Ann Coulter is a true American patriot and is absolutely correct in 99.9% of her pronouncements – especially about liberals, democrats – including McCain.
Misleading headline. Ann simply knows Obama is not electable on a national election, and she wants Dems to swoon over to his side to cause more strife in that party. We'll see after super Tuesday.
anyone google Tony Rezko lately?
Now this is definitely a sign of the Apocalypse
If u want s4 morew years of war spending, higher gasz and oil prices and
jujst plan unrest sthan vote for McCain.. Just listen to his speeches...
He is anothe BUSH Heavy.....
Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh, together with Fox News, ARE the establishment. No wonder they are suddenly lining up behind Hillary Clinton.
McCain is too liberal on immigration and free speech, but his fiscal discipline is what will make future tax cuts possible, and he is the ONLY candidate in either party qualified to lead us in war. Coulter and Limbaugh may be living in some kind of fantasy land, but our soldiers overseas are putting their lives on the line, and we need someone with the experience and judgement to lead them to victory. Romney and Huckabee do not know how, and Clinton and Obama do not believe it can be done.
Win this war first and quibble over amending the constitution in 2012.
Anyone who bleieves anything that Ann Coulter has to say shouldn't even be allowed to vote.
CALVIN-
I agree with you-anyone with half a brain should vote for McCain.
To: The censored news network,you only print hate and lies.If you get any GOOD comments about any candidate,it doesn.t get posted.So much for the First Ammendment , huh?
lol you are sfunny ......You Go Girl
Well, I was starting to get worried that Hillary could win, but Mann Coulter's support is pretty much the kiss of death for Hillary.
Combing Ann Coulter comments and Rush's "McCain will destory the Republican Party", I am now to declare an open warefare between John McCain versus the radio talk show hosts. We will see in Super Tuesday if these radio talk show hosts can derail McCain, or if they never have any influence they claim to have.
Who will win, anyone?
lets take what ms.coulter says with a grain of salt can we? i see this as her trying to say whatever she can to try and draw support away from hillary because she feels threatened, do people honestly believe hillary would promise these programs which are all very liberal (ahem, universal healthcare anyone?) if she didnt see her as a threat to her ultimate party the republicans. this is just the usual dirty tricks the republicans will always be known for
My thoughts exactly Coulter. If McCain wins the nomination, I vote Democratic.
I thought Reagan was dead.
This SCUMBAG says she wants? Put her in tge trsh swhere ashe be;llongs/
Coulter will say anything to get publicity.
Limbaugh is a drug addict.
Why are their opinions relevant
She's so full of cr*p! She's just trying to shock everyone as usual!
There's no way in the world she would vote for Clinton over McCain...she' s just trying to trash McCain in order to garner more support for Romney!
It's pretty transparent.
Use you brains people. Coulter fancies herself as a political genius. What better
way to try to get people away from Hillary but to support her. Guess they must
think that Obama will again stumble through another debate and propel McCain into the presidency.
I didn't realize that it was now un-rebublican to be against torture. You would think people would understand McCain's position being a POW survivor who actually was tortured. I have very rebublican ideals. They don't happen to be based upon any specific religious beliefs per se but are more economic and socially derived. Just because someone actually takes a softer approach to things doesn't make them a liberal or a bad person. I believe in the death penalty but I think it should be one or the other. Or how about all republicans decide that we can torture death row inmates first (maybe get another confession out of them). Have some common sense!! Just because you are a member of the republican party doesn't mean you have to act like hitler. We have hearts too. I promise. Go McCain.
Who Is ANN COULTER? Who CARES? Just another woman bedding Bill Clinton!!
Why do people listen to anything this person has to say? She's not worth my time or effort to even care. The only reason she gets face time is because she makes a point of being a controversial, intolerant, homophobic bigot & frankly, this country is better than that. It's time to ignore people like this & focus on people who are actually doing good for others instead of just trying to get their 15 minutes of fame.
John McCain is to conservatism what Hillary is to liberalism. They should form a party of their own.
Obama 08!
Romney 08!
Let's have a real debate now. The GOP and DNC deserve to be represented by people who hold their core principles.
Who cares what that flake thinks..
I voted for Reagan when the party had some brains.. Maybe McCain
will reinstate some intelligence.. Obama ya right.. Good luck on that..
Even President Clinton had to find his thrills elsewhere,, So what's left
not much
I'm guessing Ann the Vulgar is just trying to encourage liberal Democrats not to vote for Hillary and to split the vote.
Heres the important question, why does fox news allow this woman on the air. With a record of making false and erroneous statements she should be banned from weighing in on anything political. Who honestly takes stock in anything that comes out of this obviously ignorant woman's mouth who is over her head in what should be a more intellectual debate about our future president.
Yea, and satan himself is retiring from Earth destruction.
That's not what she is sayin on radio. Can them (Rush and Hennedy) they have lost the American people? Their followers are less than 10,000 out there.
They are finished.
I am a Dem and I can live with McCain. HE has my vote.
Who cares, she was just trying to be outrageous. Very few people actually listen to her content. They just note the steady drone of stupidity in order to draw attention to herself. She clings to the belief that any advertising is good advertising. How does she live with herself?
If Ann Coulter wants four more years of Bill Clinton in office she should continue her stupid statements. Don't call yourself a conservative and suggest that Hillary is more conservative than McCain when Hillary wants to socialize America. I am shocked by the stupid statements coming out of the mouths of the so called experts.. maybe we should review our commentators and alleged "voice" choices.
Another Ann Coulter publicity stunt. :rolleyes:
So Coulter would rather see Hillary appoint the next Justice to the Supreme Court?
Ann Coulter is one of the top 5 dumbest people ever to speak into a microphone. Those of us with any intelligence whatsoever (even the slimmest bit of intelligence) ignore her and FOX news.
CNN: Please do us all a favor - don't report on Ann Coulter again until she announces her retirement.
Hey Ann, maybe we can offset each other's votes. I'm a life-long liberal democrat, and if Hillary wins the nomination, I'll be campaigning for John McCain. I strongly suspect more Democrats will abandon ship if Hillary wins than vise-versa.
I heard Ann Coulter will "join" Bill and the Stomp for Hillary.
GObama!!!
wow...well, this bolsters my support for Obama, and makes me think maybe McCain wouldn't be as bad a president as I think he could be....
no, no...McCain would be a terrible, temperamental fascio-socialist (i.e. neocon)
Why would anyone want Ann Coulter's endorsement? What are her values? Based on what we have seen from her, its is hard to determine if "values" is the right term! It is to bad that she uses her gifts to bring down rather than to build up. The country has enough of down, we need up!
I swear that Ann Coulter is a dude in drag. I am a Republican and even I hate her. Let her vote for Hillary-we don't need freaks like Coulter and Rush in the Republican party.
I would like to see a Huckabee / Coulter Ticket.
Idiots!
By now you should know Ann Coulter. She's not saying that she like's HIllary (her past statements prove it) she's saying she dislikes McCain that much.
I honestly hope all you "Now I'm Gonna vote for Barak" or "See how Evil HIllary is?" people stay home and do not vote.
I'd rather have low turn out than have stupid people making important decisions.
No wonder America is failing.
I understand because of McCain the GOP is at the lowest point the conservatives have ever been, either you are a liberal or your a conservative, don't pretend to be one and then agree with the other. I will vote for Obama, I trust him a lot more than McClinton.
Ann Coulter is a nut!
Juan McCamnesty is no republican!
Coulter is about as scary as it gets, next to Hillary. They both belong together, not in the White House, but the Nut House.
What more reason do you need to vote Obama over Clinton? When you have a person that crazy saying that you would be a better president. Case closed.
... and what Ann Coulter says is relevant how??? She despises the 911 widows – calls John Edwards "gay" – and recommends we ask him about his dead son ... I really doubt she's human – just one of those wind-up inflatables that spew hatred wherever they go ... too low to step on and too slimy to kick.
The bleach on her hair is withering what little brain she had – and she never had a heart – I wouldn't believe anything she said –
Buy your earplugs now – there will be a shortage when either Democrat is elected president and with a strong majority, the whine and faux-outrage from the pathetic faux-conservatives will be deafening ... Rush may even be driven back to his drug habit to survive the next four years ... Notice she mentioned voting for Senator Clinton? What about Mitt and Mike???
I'm with Liam, and why do we care what Ann Coulter thinks anyway? What a nasty piece of work. It's her so-called "conservative" party that's at the heart of our current fascist state in America. She and all the other so-called "conservatives" should be ashamed.
There is one thing that is clearly missed here.
Neither Rush nor Coulter represent conservatives. They represent the interests of corporations. You can't be up front about this so those pushing the interests of corporations conflate their values with conservatives. This is the true wolf in sheeps clothing that has essentially run the Republican party since Reagan.
Conservatives aren't afraid of McCain, but those using the Republican as a vehicle for corporate and not national interests are. Their mouth pieces are signaling early warnings and I feel sorry for the duped conservatives that are still being fooled.
Couldn't read it – who cares what Coulter thinks? Who really cares.
Want to know who this helps?
Check out how many Obama supporters are SPINNING IT.
Telling Republicans to vote for Clinton over the sure to be nominated Mc Cain has GOT to be EXCELLENT news for clinton.
Clinton has no worries about the democratic base.
Its the OBAMA supporters who were WHINING about Republicans not voting for Clinton.
BEAUTIFULL
If anyone actually changes their mind based on what Ann Coulter rambles about they should do us all a favor and not make the trip out to vote.
It's the people that hate Ann Coulter who are nuts. If she was a liberal, they would say the attacks mean that people can't handle and strong and opinionated woman. It's funny when the Coulter haters bash her for supposedly being nasty, and the very next words out of their mouths are to insult her appearance and hair color. That's nice.
Being from Arizona. Have been watching McCain closely for a long time.
And STOP dragging back the Viet Nam thing. Yes, He is a Hero like many of the other POWs, Yes he has character. And yes he talks out both sides of his mouth..
He says, I will stop the ILLEALS from coming in at the border( hes already had the opportunity to do that) with our Governor who does the same thing..( of course she days its Bush that has to do it all-NOT. Now once the ILLEGALS get in the McCain
and Kennedy goe through the back door and want Amnesty-No thanks.He goes back and forth on alot of the issues. Guess they all do depending on what state they are in and what the voters want to hear at that point. I don't see anyone at the moment that I would vote for. Neithor party....
Ann would say anything to discredit McCain in a veil attempt to get Romney elected. She is trying to get republicans to support anyone but McCain. Who cares what this ego maniac thinks?
I'm curious to know if Coulter would support Romney should he beat the odds and earn the GOP nomination.
I've been Republican for life, but would certainly vote for Hillary or Obama over McCain in a heart beat.
I am a 60 year old republican with conservative leanings. Ann Coulter does not and never will speak for me. She is an arrogant, condecending ,self absorbed person whose only interest is being controversial and selling books. I don't know how her opinion could possibly mean anything to anyone with half a brain. She is to the republican party what KFC is to chicken.
Also Rush and Hannity came to prominence by criticizing the Clinton administration for 8 years. I cannot believe they are taking a position that will put Hillary in the white house and only to criticize her again. They are finding that not all republicans do not share all of their far right ideas and are not happy but that doesn't mean they should give the country to tax and spend liberals.
This country needs serious people to solve serious problems and Ann Coulter and Hillary ain't it.
If anyone doubts who the GOP would rather run against in the national election, now you know.
They are terrified of having to run against Obama.
I'm sick and tired of the Rush & Anne Republican view. And, judging by the votes that McCain is getting, so are a lot of other Republicans.
If Anne wants to increase her taxes (which I'm sure she probably uses a smart tax professional to pay as little as possible), then let her vote for Hillary, who said last night on the debate, the tax rates would go back to the rates when Bill Clinton was President!
I have to add another comment. To all of the ranting and raving and howling Clinton haters, if Ann Coulter causes you to vote for Obama, you have got to be brain dead or on the lunatic fringe of the democratic party. Your comments are ridiculous and pathetic and show signs of mental illness. Hillary is going to win the nomination. Hillary is going to win the general election. Hillary is going to be President of the United States of America. Get a Life!
No one even cares what this woman thinks. If John Edwards had any sense, now that he is out of the race, he would call her our for what she is. Why people keep giving her nonsense airtime is beyond me.
I do feel sad for the people who believe anything Rush Limburger and Anne have to say, let alone buy and read or listen to their trash.
I'm sure this is a stunt to turn liberals away from Hillary. I've been watching all the right wing pundits for weeks and its clear they are trying to clear the path to a run against Obama. I think he is a far weaker candidate in a general election – regardless of the conventional wisdom. On policy and debate strength, Hillary is much stronger.
Seems like she is playing a double role here. She wanted to tell republican that McCain is even liberal than Hillary, and to democrats that Hillary is not a really liberal. By doing show, she seems to get some movement for Romney and Obama. If Obama get nomination, republicans think he is not going to win!
Please. This is a poor joke.
Here's the deal. I guarantee you that, however "liberal" McCain is, Ann Coulter would NOT vote for a democrat. This is all a set-up. It's widely known that republicans would rather see Clinton as the D nominee because they think that whoever they field has a better chance of beating Hillary than Obama.
They know that if it's McCain against Obama, McCain won't have a chance in Hell. If it's McCain vs. Clinton, it'll be all about Hillary's skeletons and her unlikeability. McCain has a much better chance against her.
So don't be fooled. This is more boloney from a neocon- here's Ann Coulter's message translated into reality: "I want to promote the idea of Clinton as the democratic nominee. I want to convince my fellow republicans who are disenchanted with our party and on the fence, to support her as the nominee. Then, we all throw our support to McCain and he takes her apart in the general election. Liberal or not, we must have a republican in the White House!"
Now I'm definitely voting for Obama! The day Coulter throws her vote to Hillary is the day you have seen Faust sign his pact with the devil. No good can come of it.
*shiver*
BO did not vote for the Iraq war on the first go around but he did vote for it on the second go around, I guess Mrs. Clinton did not want to nik- pick last evening. Her statements for the war are logical, all of us thought that the plan was just for inspectors to go in, who knew what GWB had in mind except GWB, can't fault her for trying to determine if Iraq was truly a threat and in reality it has been.
I see...Coulter who said a few months ago on H&C, when Rudy was the front runner...that she could never vote for him because he was pro-choice...will now vote for Hillary – who is far more liberal on abortion than Rudy – over McCain who is pro-life and has a consistent pro-life voting record in the Senate. And last I remember...McCain is the only presidential candidate who actually Ronald Reagan do a campaing spot for him. And McCain has supported all the conservative judges nominated to the court in his tenure in the Senate, including Robert Bork. I think the far right is showing their true colors. Go McCain.
Are there actually fools dumb enough to "think" that Coulter will support a virulent, militant, anti-family, anti-military, anti-American, fundamentalist Marxist and hysterical feminist like Hillary Rodham?
Well, that's the ring of death for me. Welcome, President McCain!
Amen to Ms. Coulter! At least we know the political leanings of Hillary. But we're in the dark when dealing with the chamelion that is McCain.
HOW HOW HOW does this prove that Dems should vote for Obama? Seriously, did the ignorant people posting that trash even read the article? Please tell me you only read the title of the article and then commented. I would hope that after reading it you didn't draw such and ignorant conclusion.
The article is about conservatives being upset with John McCain NOT Ann Coulter supporting Hillary Clinton. She isn't putting her "seal of approval" on Sen. Clinton she's expressing her displeasure in Sen. McCain. At the end of the day, Ann Coulter isn't going to vote for Sen. Clinton and you'd have to be a moron to think otherwise.
Get real America...if we are to truely have change in this country then it doesn't need to start with any candidate it needs to start with the voters waking up, standing up and using our minds.
John McCain is a liberal. Coulter is exaggerating to make a point. What she means is not that she actually supports hillary, just that she will NEVER cast a vote for McCain. And rightfully so, I think. Many of you appear to be too stupid to figure that out. If you really are that stupid, it may be better if you didn't vote at all. For those of us who ARE conservatives for whatever reason. My reasons happen to be fiscal, defense, and preservation of the constitution. If John McCain gets the nomination, I will write in Mitt Romney on my ballot in the general election, not vote for a democrat.
Mitt Romney will make a GREAT president. I beleiev he is our last hope to preserve this nation as it was envisioned by the founders. If anyone else gets in this time around, I am unsure the damage can be reversed.
John McCain has stuck his thumb in the eye of every conservative at aevery opportunity. Such short memories ... does anyone remember the "Gang of Fourteen"? John McCain with his arm around Ted Kennedy trying to give illegals OUR rights, OUR money, and OUR land? John McCain trying to squelch free speech with McCain-Feingold?
I do not see how any self-respecting small "c" conservative can cast a vote for McCain. I refuse to do it. He thinks our taxes are too low, thinks illegals should have the right to our stuff, thinks we should not be able to discuss political ideas in an open marketplace, thinks foreign terrorists should enjoy the full protections of OUR constitution.
The man is nothing more than a liberal democrat with an 'R' next to his name. He should be running against hillary and obama for the dem nomination.
Even though I do not always agree with Ann Coulter. We conservatives must stop the Liberal McCain Train. He will set our party back years as well as the country. Florida got it wrong and I hope the rest of the nation does not make the same mistakes. They need to vote for MITT ROMNEY and make this nightmare go away. Even though Mike Huckabee is a nice guy and conservative on most issues, he cannot win the nomination and would have no chance against the Democrats. Conservatives and Republicans must unite. Do not get it wrong like Florida vote for Romney on Super Tuesday. His vision and values and experience with economy is just what we need.
VOTE ROMNEY AND STOP THE MCCAIN TRAIN
Well I have never taken Ann Coulter seriously anyway. Let her vote for Hillary. My vote is for McCain because McCain is the only candidate that has a truly diverse group of backers. He is the closest to having an all inclusive campaign. Not the narrow one dimensional focus of the others. so good for you Ann-nobody really cares.
Time for Ann Coulter to ride off into the sunset and just go away...
She says John McCain is no good for this country. I'd argue that Ann Coulter is no good for this country. She is a dinosaur that is way outside the mainstream thought patterns of this or any other country for that matter. (Along with other far-left and far-right leaning folks.)
Wow, I hope people see that coulter is just trying to slow down Sen. Clinton before super tuesday. Sen. Clinton is everything that Ann Coulter is not. By saying something as far out as this she is trying to weaken Sen. Clinton among the democrat base in hopes to influence the outcome of the democratic nomination.
The very fact that Coulter is against this makes me think that the voters are on to something here.
I think she's just on a Band Wagon. I am Sorry But I really Don't Think Clinton Will Be able to Handle the Iraq Situation. She has never served and really Doesn't know how it really is out there.
I Think Mc Cain has the upperhand in that area. I Just know She is not prepared to handle what really is out there.
I agree with both Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter. The Republican establishment has its' head in the sand if they think they have given us conservatism in John McCain. At least Hillary Clinton doesn't pretend to be anything else but liberal. On the other hand, John McCain says he is conservative, but he is anything but.....I don't think think my Republican party is taking into consideration how powerful the religious conservatives are, and how much their votes will count. Time will tell.
Ann Coulter's best day was 9/11. If Barbara Olsen was still around, Ann would have faded to well-deserved obscurity a long time ago.
Hey Carrie...funny thing is that NONE of the Republicans that I know, including myself EVER take that nut job Coulter OR Limbaugh seriously! We all think they are jokes! Especially that Coulter... I find it so hard to understand why these stations keep letting her even talk! Someone really needs to pull out the gags!
wow, id never thought id live to see the day that ann would support hillary...
I'm with you, Ann. If it's going down the tubes, I'd rather have a Democrat driving than a Republican that thinks he's a Democrat. We'll never live down a McCain presidency. However, after four years of a Democrat screwing up it, people will be ready to listen.
What !! Is there no room for a war hero in Ann Coulter's party?
Ann will do or say anything to sell her books.She's a master saleswoman.That's all she's good for.
Wouldn't it be great if Coulter, Limbaugh, etc. didn't support McCain and he still won? Their acts got tired a long time ago.
Here's what everyones missing about A.C.
She resently wrote a long article of endorsement for the GOP Nom.
She ripped all the R candidates and said there was only one true conservative
Senator Fred Thompson
FACT...... 48 HOURS later Sen Thompson had dropped out.
She is sooo good at picking winners.
I have to agree with an earlier comment, A.C. is exactly whats wrong with the GOP.
McCain is against illegal immigration, and he has common sense.
The idea that 12 million illegals can be deported is just stupid.
Deporting the illegal mother of a son on the front line in Iraq is stupid.
He admits he's not an expert on the economy... HONESTY how Refreshing!
Maybe GOP should be thinking McCain-Romney in that order.
Ann and Rush must be doing the same type drugs, what a shame
Give me a break. Coulter supports the establishment be it Democratic or Republican. What I have to say for McCain is a Teddy Roosevelt tagline "Bully!"
John McCain votes with his party 80% of the time. American Conservative Union gave him a 82%. He is the most consistently anti abortion. Votes in favor of confirming strict constructionist judges. What is your problem, Republicans? he may not be perfect but he is electable. I have voted straight Republican since the age of 18 and I am now 53. I am voting for mcCain! If you Republicans vote for a Democrat you are not Republicans, you are spiteful.
Ann Coulter has two reasons for making this statement. First, Ann Coulter likes to hear herself talk. The crazier or more controversial she is, the more attention she gets. Second, there is no way she would actually support Clinton over McCain. She undoubtedly hates both. However, by stating she would support the dreaded Hillary, she is trying to fire up the base into stopping a McCain nomination by showing how he's the greatest of three evils among Romney and Huckabee. But make no mistake. If it's Hillary vs. McCain, dispirited neocons like Coulter who actually show up to the polls will "hold their noses" and vote for McCain.
Yikes Clinton, you know that's bad when Coulter thinks you're the best conservative out there.
I'll stick with Obama, thanks
Go get em Ann! Ann Coulter for President!
If that blond ding-bat thinks that way, it gives me more reason to vote McCain.
This should make it unanimous. Now everyone hates Ann Coulter.
Bill Persons :
"I HAVE ALWAYS VOTED REPUBLICAN."
"I VOTED DEMOCRAT THIS ELECTION."
"I VOTED FOR BARACK OBAMA."
"THE ONLY REPUBLICAN I WOULD VOTE FOR PRESIDENT IS MITT ROMNEY."
Make up your mind Bill and you decide!!!!!
Im a democrat and I will always be a democrat, I always voted for democrats and I will vote for a democrat candidate this 2008 election.
I dont pay attention and I care less who endoreses who....Sometimes endorsment meaning less.
Culinary Union in Nevada endorsed Obama. I support Hillary. I was at caucus on January 19, 2008 at one of High School, You didnt beleive what I saw at that school, I can count with my fingers how many people in Obama's group. Every rooms evey corners every where people for Hillary. I was so glad and I decided I volunteer helping people to make sure they have register and have a voting ticket,
This SUUPPPPER TUESDAY, dont be surprised that 70% of about 1700 democrats delegates will go for HILLARY.
YOU DECIDE!!!
Wow, what a good read, including all the comments...
This is extremely difficult for me to say... but, she actually made a valid case for all the sane people in this country....
For those of you voting on Super Tuesday:
If you don't support Hillary or McCain, which both look like they will be the nominees... Then reguardless of your party,
YOU MUST VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!!
It is the only sane choice left that has a chance at the nomination.....
This poor soul only makes noise to get attention. Hasn't anyone noticed?
If she thinks she can drive people to support Romney this way, it won't work. For once, Independants will control this election.
Why does anyone pay any attention to what this woman says or does?
I can see it now– Clinton/ Coulter '08.
If this isn't an eye-opening, slap-in-your-face, wake up call to the democrats who support Hillary, I don't know what is. Too bad this endorsement didn't come in time for the debates. I'd like to have seen Hillary try to explain herself out of this one. You know you've gone far astray when Coulter endorses you.
That's what Bush did for the republican party. They realize that there is no way that the nation is going to elect another republican if it's not McCain.
Awwww, the right wing talking heads are mad because their nominee isn't "ideologically pure" enough for their taste. Surprise, Rush and Coulter: Republican voters aren't the mindless dittoheads you thought they were, and you don't own their vote.
HRC endorsed by coulter, i love it!
Lets face it McCain and Clinton are train wrecks.
Coulter supports the establishment be it Democratic or Republican. What I have to say for McCain is a Teddy Roosevelt tagline "Bully!"
It's called reverse psychology- ANN COULTER knows how hated she is and if she endorses a candidate many people will run from that candidate...The Republicans are afraid of Hillary Clinton and don't want to run against her in November...regardless of what the right leaning media wants us to believe.
Republicans are in such disarray and this proves it. Rush, Ann, Fox...keep it up
theres no difference between the far right and the far left,, there both far off
Ann Coulter is bad for the world. John McCain is a MUCH better candidate than Hillary, I truly believe that this woman would use her husband as her running mate, creating a dictatorship in the US since 1988. If you aren't sure of what I'm talking about, G. Bush, B. Clinton, G. Bush, H. Clinton, J. Bush.... IF we elect Hillary and Bill into office, Jeb will follow after 8 agonizing years. Cut her down now, get McCain or Obama in office and good things will follow.
I never thought I would agree with Ann on anything. Wrong. I agreed when she said (months earlier) that Duncan Hunter was her first choice. Now I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY with her about McCain. The fact he is resurrected after his stubborn stance (along with Kennedy, et al) on the "comprehensive amnesty" legislation is astounding! I am appalled and disgusted that people have actually catapulted him to the forefront after that particular fiasco. Took years off my life, I think! I can hardly bear to turn on the TV without seeing his smirking face up close. Everyone is salivating over this situation. What country is this anyway?
Way to go, Ann. Courageous of you to stick your neck out, again.
Dawn
I have always voted Republican for President. At the State and local level I have voted both Rep. and Dem. This might be the first time that I vote Dem for President. McCain's support for the war and surge are the center of his campaign. What is his stance on illegal immigration. After the debate the other night I was left wondering what his stace was. He never said what his plan is now that his terrible plan was shot down! He claims to have integrity because he served in the military, but was involved with the Keating Five scandal! After taking money for his campaign from a criminal McCain tried to get the the lead investigator to back off Charles Keating. This is the same McCain that championed campaign finance reform!
What kind of deals do you think McCain has been making behind the scenes to get all the endorsments that he brags about. We all know how it works, we just don't have the sense to put a person in office that isn't status quo.
Sad that a respected news channel like CNN would give publicity to a hateful, partisan, spiteful pundit like Ann Coulter. She is a prime example of everything that is wrong with the US and, like a 3rd grade bully, we would be much better off ignoring her.
Stop giving her Press.
I want to know how you get by this liberal filter to get your comments posted.
Maybe I should use buzz words, such as independent, or maybe even Hillary is great. No I won't go that far. In truth neither Barak nor Clinton can win in November. Romney will have a difficult time getting by the Conservate wing of the party and McCain will get the nomination by default. As a conservative Republican (Reaganite) and strong Bush supporter i will vote for McCain even though I too consider him a closet Democrat. (Kennedy) _Lieberman... Birds of a feather flock together.
Coulter demonstrates honesty and an open mind. Qualities you hypocritical, liberal toads do not possess. Liberals always talk about their "tolerance", but only for those things and people that suit their agendas. LIberals are far more close-minded than conservatives. Always the expansive do-gooders.....if they're getting what they want.
There isn't a CONDOM strong enough for any non republican Male to want anything to do with DUMBO EARS COULTER. Any man would have to use rubber gloves to even grab her by the ears.
Vincent February 1, 2008 11:19 am ET
hahaha, I guess every vote counts???
-----
Unless you live in Florida or Michigan.
Why does this person have any credibility with anyone? I seriously doubt whether most of the civilized and educated world cares what Ann Coulter cares about any topic or person. She has consistently demonstrated that she will willingly lie about anything or anybody to further her reactionart agenda
I didn't even waste my time reading what Ann Coultre has to say. She is the most mean spirited woman in politics, and she often sounds like an A__ !! I wouldn't imagine any politician wanting her to defend, support, or do anything else for that matter for them.
If those of you on the left think this is the end of (Rush and) the conservative movement, that was said in 1976, 1996, and yadda yadda. Seeing as how Slick Willie never got 50% of the vote ever (remember?), I'll stick with the Reagan Republicans!
First off, our country is facing some definite challenges, and despite Democratic-theory, it is not all President Bush's fault. I'm amazed at how often they try to use him as a scapegoat for EVERY single problem facing America. The Democratic politicians do this because they know it earns Democratic votes. Voters believe this because they are ignorant... or stupid. I'm sure there's a good mix in there.
Second, these challenges are not going to be fixed by insider senators who have been sitting on their thrones, high and mighty. They are part of the problem. McCain, Obama, Clinton... these are the very people who have been adding to our problems, not fixing them.
Third, I hate John McCain.
Ok, that third one seems kind of out of place, but I just want to point out that Ann Coulter is not the only conservative who would consider voting Democrat if McCain is the Rep. nominee. Which puts our country's future in a predicament if it comes down to a Clinton / McCain showdown. This, to me (and other conservatives like me) would be similar to saying that you've got to pick between Lucifer and Greasy-Slimeball Jerk for president. Hmm... I'll let you decide which one is which.
Romney is the only true conservative Republican who embraces the values and principles of Ronald Reagan. He's not been sitting on a seat in the senate, which is a plus. And, on top of that, he has an amazing record of fixing some of the exact problems our country is facing (specifically organizational overspending). I would rather have a president with successful business experience than a president who has been a politician or lobbyist his/her whole life.
God help us if we see Clinton and McCain each pick up their respective party's nomination.
She's an idiot
Ann Coulter you are ridiculous! It's people just like you who are ruining this nation.
The right winger conservatives gave us Bush for 8 years and look at us now!
I can't believe Ann would want to vote for Hillary Clinton. That was a shock!
I plan on doing the same thing. I am a life long Republican who loves George Bush, but would rather have Hillary in the White House than McCain. McCain is an intellectual dolt and a liberal medial hog. Further, Hillary is smarter, more decisive, more experienced and will bring a real agenda for governing to her Presidency.
Well, we always knew that Coulter was a whack job – do we really need more evidence? Does place Hillary in a bit of a predicaement, though – you hate to turn down support when you're running for office.
She's part of the Republican machine. They don't like M because he's not going to be there BOY like Bush is.
Side bar: Don't know about y'all, but I am getting pretty sick of hearing the labels "liberal" and "conservative". Media and politicians throw these words around like they are some kind of magic formula for what ails America.
Neither a fully liberal or fully conservative leadership and agenda will help us.
It's gotta be more middle of the road.
How about we vote for intelligence, integrity and innovation? That means a split ticket in the 2008 Presidential and Congressional elections. A new President needs a new Congress.
Plus after Ann's amazing announcement, who longer knows or understands the definition of liberal or conservative?
Just more proof that conservatives don't really care about the fate of the United States if they don't have a lackey blindly following orders like Bush/Cheney have the past eight years. Starting an illegal war based on trumped up intelligence? No problem. Spending the country into a sea of red ink? No problem? Endorsing torture, illegal wiretapping and other violations of the Constitution in the euphemistic "fight for freedom?" No problem. Making sure that the average American will be stripped of his/her job and in favor of the corporate masters making 50 cents more per share on their stocks? No problem - as long as the President is nothing but a shill for morally bankrupt right wing "ideals." And they say liberals hate America.
i agree completely with wendy a couple of posts up. Ann Colter on the air anywhere speaking her opinion is the biggest waste of tv or radio air time. And as for rush limbaugh, has he finished saying racist remarks about blacks yet, or is he too messed up on pain pills?
COULDN'T AGREE MORE....NEVER THOUGHT MCCAIN WOULD GET THIS FAR. MCCAIN IS A LIBERAL, JUST LIKE OBAMA. SHE'S RIGHT....MCCAIN IS BAD FOR REPUBLICANISM!
It is beside the point whether Ann Coulter was exagerrating to make a point. The bottom line fact is that she is no more qualified than any of the Hollywood actors that she rails against to tell the American people how they should or should not vote. The sad part is that so many people listen.
Why would anyone give any crediance to the washed up Ann Coulter. The woman
would blackball her one mother if she tought she get a sound bite. Wake up media.
I rather her what the homelss guy on the street thinks.
Why does the media give this woman any kind of airtime or printspace? She is one of the most ill-informed and hateful people I've ever seen. Why she would make the statements regarding Clinton versus McCain is a mystery... maybe she's actually trying to hurt Clinton. I just don't understand why the media gives her the time of day though. She really is a "nobody" when you come down to it.
I am a republican. I believe in fiscal responsibility, non-activist judges and I support a conservative social stance. But I do not support Ms. Coulter's concept of the "perfect" republican candidate. I do not support the extreme right of my party and the "light" theocracy that it wants for this country. McCain can reach to both sides of the political spectrum and build a pragmatic administration that does not lose it's time fighting for an anti-abortion or anti- flag burning ammendment . Our military commitments have to be sustained without fanatism and the economy must be improved. If Ms. Coulter supports Hillary over McCain, so be it. America does nor need her or her overblown opinions. And if Hilary accepts her endorsement, then she deserves to lose the general election too. In any case, neither Hillary or Obama are such great candidates. Their experience is almost non-existant and all they do is throw words to the landscape in search of an idea. That's how Warren G. Harding was elected in 1920.
eric G
hey eric you like to call it the communist news network? how about you read a book...get your brain moving becuase it obviously stoped working when you were in jr high school.
if obama gets Kennedy
it's only fair that Clinton gets Coulter
Although this story is spun complete out of context... it's not an endoresement for Clinton it's a slam against McCain.
since my earlier post has been held for moderation because i dare to mention that an endorsement from Kennedy, with Chappaquiddick in his past, and a myriad of other scandals being the endorsement from the 'old guard'... therefore being as far from and endorsement for *change* that one can get... is nothing short of laughable.
god forbid you should delve into someone's past who isn't named clinton on the CNN site.
Biased media at its worst... fair and balanced ... a joke!!!!
let's see if they will print this as well as my earlier post...
the republicans came to destroy.divide,brake,tear down. the democrats in the other hand come to built,restaure and fix, now it is the time to fix.let's do it with the most potential candidate in the all race wich is barack.
Hahahahaha! Hilarious! It really says something when Coulter is picking Hillary over a Republican. I've been for Obama since the beginning but this is just funny. Coulter is such a horrible person and now she's behind Hillary. So funny...
Also, if anyone watched the debate last night, and looked at Hillary's smile... that had to be the fakest, most forced smiled I've ever seen. She looked like she was struggling to smile.
Ann Coulter for Hillary Clinton??!!!
Clinton loses my vote NOW.
I'm voting Obama.
Too much peroxide........
Now we know what they think in the psychiatric facilities. She had her 15 minutes now pull the plug. I don't like Hillary either but this is just weird....
ann you have won my respect you must have had a brain attack check the records all the way back to the beginning of our history republican party start wars and make us have a bad economey democrates end wars and make a good economey hannity is a complete nut case he is young and dumb you have seen the light .you might just make a true democrat now if rush limbough can change his views america will move in to a great nation once again. stranger things have happened!
Finally something I agree with from Ann Coulter...I mean seriously I totally hated this crazy loon until she said this because we do need a candidate like Hillary Clinton who TRULY represents the best of both worlds ie conservatism and liberalism John McCain and Barack Obama are much much too polarizing and Obama is weak on foreign policy-just my opinion- we need someone strong on foreign as well as domestic someone who fights for the inside and outside of our nation not a wimp who says "I never advocated war." Granted there were problems with this war but there always are and Hillary did what she knows was the right decision- if you have the DOD, CIA and president breathing down your neck and calling you a traitor if you vote no you have to follow where the EVIDENCE (NOT ADVOCATING ITS ACCURACY) leads you!
geeez all these Obama people saying this should make people not vote for Clinton but then they spill the BS that Obama can win because he can bring Republicans to his side. We can switch this around that if Hillary can actually get Ann to vote for her then image how many others Hillary can appeal to LOL it is all about the "spin" to make it work for your own good...
This tells you everything you need to know.
VOTE FOR OBAMA !
Hahaha... You say "Conservative" like it's a good thing! Hahahahaha!
They are tricking us into thinking they are against him so we will vote for him! They will fall behind any candidate that wins because they want to win at any cost and they are a bunch of water buffalo!!!
I have no idea who McCain is or what his stance on the issues are but I will vote for him if he maintains his lead in the polls. I always just vote for the leader of the polls. or sometimes whos the most handsome.
I am a vietnam vet too. I've voted for 40 years a register republican, and like ann, I depise Mc for his lack of integrity, his willingness to ignore his constituents who put his ugly a.. in office to start with and his constant pandering to his democratic cronnies. I'll vote gop's in the local and state offices and both congressional houses to. As long as the dems are kept from a super majority in the house and senate, which is more than likely not to happen. Hillary for president.. I can live with that until a real conservative leader with true conservative values takes charge of the GOP. Back scratching cronisism and triple teaming. Mc's endorsements will all be looking for a good paying government job and freebies too. I see em lining up at the federal trough now..
Anne Coulter is an antisemitic right wing nut job. Who cares, or should care, what she thinks. She represents nobody and cares only about her next book
i hope no one seriously thinks that she likes hillary. coulter is known for her ridiculous publicity stunts and the only reason she is supporting hillary is because she knows that if she gets the democratic nomination, no matter what republican she would come up against, she would be torn to pieces and we would be suckered into another 4-8 years of republican rule.
Talk about the kiss of death, lol.
Thanks Ann!
Obama '08
Jeez, Coulter sounds like a lot of the Obama supports on this and other boards when they talk about what they will do if they candidate does not win.
You have to have a sense of humor and enjoy satire–in which case you will under-stand what Ann and Rush are saying and get a real hoot out of it. In addition, I've found they are usually right! I find the humor of democrats is always just mean, and they lack an honest sense of humor.
I'm tired of watching these washington weasels sputtering their political rhetoric. John McCain has been in Washington for so long this campaign is just a career move for him. Mitt Romney is just another politician like McCain; this is simply a campaign for their own esteems. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain all lack the executive experience needed to run the superpower that is America. Mitt Romney doesn't have a chance; today he's for one thing, tomorrow he's against it. Democrats are dissapointing; what's good for America is bad for Democrats and what's bad for America is good for Democrats. I want a candidate that's a straight shooter so I'm voting for Huckabee.
seriously, this is hilarious, and to think, the little Hillary followers call themselves Democrats. They are a disgrace to the party.
Vote for Hillary Clinton means 4 more years of Bush, idiots.
Puh-leez!
Like Ann really WOULD support a Democrat. Democrats are, in general, pro-choice, more anti-gay than Republicans, and traditionally anti-gun.
Yea right, Anne. You're a big Hillblazer, I'm sure.
This is all just a game to raise the awareness about conservatives being anti-McCain.
Hell must have frozen over!
Chris said it best: "There's no way in the world she would vote for Clinton over McCain…she' s just trying to trash McCain in order to garner more support for Romney!
It's pretty transparent."
The day Ann Coulter supports Hillary Clinton pigs will fly and hell will freeze over. This is clearly a last attempt by Coulter and people of like mind such as Howie Carr, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh to garner support for Mitt Romney before Super Tuesday. Romney's campaign has been a disappointment to date but if he spends enough money and people trash McCain consistently, his fortunes can change.
I guess they believe the formula of electiing a former Governor is one the American people need to follow one more time despite the fact since 1976 it has led to congressional gridlock and inaction.
I LOVE the fact that the world's most ignorant and least respected talking head is endorsing Clinton! Isn't it great that the woman who insults gays, dislikes anyone Muslim and shows no respect to anyone who doesn't believe what she believes (can you say female Osama Bin Laden) is endorsing Hilary? That's just ONE MORE reason that Hilary Clinton is NOT a good choice for President! If you're so conservative you'd get that creeps vote over a Republican you do NOT belong on the Democratic Nomination! Impeach Hilary before she's elected! Vote for Obama!!
IT IS SO DISTURBING TO SEE THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT USING THEIR BRAINS WHEN SELECTING A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. WHEN ONE CANDIDATE WINS A PRIMARY, PEOPLE RUSH DONATIONS AND SUPPORT THAT CANDIDATE. WHEN SOMEONE ELSE WIN, THEY CHANGE THEIR POSITION AS FREQUENTLY AS THEY WISH. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS A MUSICAL CHAIR WITHOUT CONVICTION OR RESPECT FOR THIS GREAT NATION.
Of course she would back Hillary. If Anne Coulter and the rest of the right wing hippocrates or left wing hippies don't have a divided country, then how will they sell their books? Good-bye crazies the middle majority is taking over!
Obama vs McCain : real issue for real people.
The “two man race” strategy used against Mike Huckabee is rather laughable when he is in 1st and 2nd place in six states. This is exactly how the media and elite conservatives kept Ross Perot under the radar. Anyone running for President must be Wall Street and Beltway approved and/or if from the wrong side of the tracks they need not apply!
A vote for Huckabee is a vote for all Americans born on the wrong side of the tracks? Hard working, honest, God fearing, and grateful, that is Mike Huckabee.
You may credit Ann Coulter with more than she really deserves. That she has some particular motive for pushing one opinion or another. I don't think she deserves this. This is just plain stupid.
It makes perfect sense to me – it's not about what's best for the country, but about what's best for Ann Coulter. She makes her living by concocting outrageous statements and demonizing democrats, so having Clinton in the White House would get her "career" back on track. With McCain, she would be forced to either criticize a sitting republican president for the next 4-8 years, or to defend his positions on the issues.
Obama yes we can. Hillary Yes I will. Now who sound more professional and sincere about changing America for the good of the people. You knowin in your hearts, Two heads are better then one. Thats why Hillary / Bill got my vote.
Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter are disloyal Republicans.
Both claim the election of John McCain would be the same as electing Hillary Clinton. Both call it a 'Highway ton Hell'. They need a major reality check! While Hillary's election would be a boon to their radio shows, it would hardly be good for America!
Coulter, Hannity, Rush – these people need Hillary to win to maintain their talk shows and books going. Their President and party have failed them and the only hope they have of maintaining any presence is to go back to the good ole days of Clinton bashing where they got their start.
I don't think anyone seriously believes she is going to support Hillary! She hasn't been in the limelight lately and no one, democrats or republicans, really care what she has to say. She had to say something outrageous to get her face back in the news. She is like the Britany Spears of the political world, she gets attention by saying stupid things!
Coulter's an idiot...
Katherine A. Bell February 1, 2008 11:24 am ET
I think that if someone running for President has never served in the US Military they should not be allowed to run for the Presidency. If they have never walked in the shoes of the military how are they gonna know how to run the Military? THINK! GO McCAIN!!!!
Love your logic?
I've never had cancer, so I guess that would disqualify me from running for President of the Cancer Society...
McNane is a war-mongering, senile, nut case; I am glad he is not alone!
Why are we wasting electrons on this poor excuse of a woman? She clearly has a spinchter muscle for lips. Anything she spews is not relevant to anything.
I thought all Dems and intelligent people thought of Ann Coultur as superfluous. Who cares what she thinks. Are people so shallow as to vote for one candidate over another because Ann Coulture says ANYTHING!.
Oh who cares what Ann Coulter says? She and Rush are like children kicking their feet and pounding their fists because Mitt is going down. Those two as well as Hannity are nothing more than propagandists whose role is to tell people who can't think for themselves what to believe. The Dems have them too. They make me ill.
I Won't vote for MC !!!
I won't vote for Hillbill neader,
Less for OB.
I will vote for only the best for the USA!
MITT ROMNEY!!!
HE IS THE BEST FOR AMERICA . GO ROMNEY GO!.
i think ann coulter has her views you may or may not agree with her but she is a conservative and i respect that. I do not think she would vote for Hillary Clinton but she is obviously angry with her base.
The reason - and I mean the ONLY reason - that Coulter would vote for Clinton is so that she could have someone to bash for the next 4-8 years, write books about, get highly paid speaking engagements to criticize. Give me a BREAK! Coulter's idea of intellectual and political integrity is making sure she is wearing panties beneath those microskirts. I am not a McCain fan, nor a Barrack fan. But I am DEFINITELY NOT A COULTER FAN!
Typical nonsense from showbiz Ann, who will say ANYTHING to get attention. Reminds me of how Hillary will SAY anything if she thinks she can squeeze a vote out of it.
It's high time for the media to stop marching out their court jester, Ms. Coulter.
Ann Coulter is not a "conservative commentator." Ann Coulter is a loud idiot who deserves to be locked in room with James Carville and not allowed to come out until they agree on everything.
Any doubts Hillary can unite Repuublicans and Democrats?
Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, even Ann Coulter knows that Hillary is a Republican. GO OBAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This must make Senator Clinton's day!
Hillary Cliton is more republican then McCain... Not really, but I'm a dem. and im NOT voting for someone who wants to go to war with Iran and leave forces in Iraq to fight terrorism. I'm so pissed that Dennis Dropped out. Hopefully Ron Paul or mike Gravel will win so we can our troops out the middle as soon as possible.
There really isnt much of a difference between cliton and obama they both suck.... election never get anything done
No, it makes great politcal sense... Most people cant stand this woman. So whomever she "backs" is bound to lose.
Shes is the biggest Clinton hater.Now I know I'm going to vote for Hillary.Shes just saying she supports Hillary so the Dems jump to OB.Nice try Ann,you dont fool me
I'm surprised she's not going for Obama. He is 6th cousin to Dick Cheney.
Well if Ann Coulter hates McCain, maybe he's my man!
Juan McCain is more interested in Mexico than the US!!!!!!!!
Ok Ann, get a life. It's about electing the most conservative candidate possible. If McCain is it then you should be stumping for a VP who will take the reins in four or eight years down the road. Just confess you had a brain fart and get back on point!
Coulter is right. McCain is no where near conservative and at least Hilary comes by liberalism honestly. When the whole country goes up in flames because of stupid liberal ideology, I'd rather a democrat be in office. Maybe Clinton would be tougher on terroism as well. I can live with higher taxes and socialized medicine as long as we don't get blown up by Islamic terroists.
The SHE-MAN is just mad because the right wingnuts are losing their control in the Republican party.
Hey, SHE-MAN, you have a better Adam's Apple than anybody I know. Dude, you were right, you are a better man than John Edwards.
He is not the choice of conservatives, as opposed to the choice of the Republican establishment — and that distinction is key," Limbaugh continued.
Maybe it's just the drugs talking, but Rush seems to be suffering from split personality syndrome. Doesn't he realize that he IS part and parcel of the "Republican establishment?"
im glad to hear so many republicans think she is a nut job. im a democrat but in the end we are all americans, does she really speak for any relevant sector of our society or is she really just a self promoting evil nut job. i have never agreed with a thing rush has ever said, but at least he is a basically decent person
One wonders many who are making "comments" are also the ones surprised by the down-turn in the economy after buying their McMansions on credit and then maxing out their credit cards. People who think that the primary job of Americans is consumerism. Vote for whomever you feel will roll up their sleeves and graduate kids from high school and college that can compete on an international level. The world doesn’t owe you. You owe the world. Persisting in our current egotistical malaise will end badly.
We have several of Ann Coulter's books. If she votes for Hillary Clinton, then we are prepared to take her books and burn them. John MC cain will be the next president of the USA. We will vote for him. If Ann Coulter votes for Clinton, she is not a Conservative, but a traitor to the party.
