Hillary Clinton Welcomes Ann Coulter's Support for Her Candidacy
Hillary Clinton: Welcomes Ann Coulter Support
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By Brenda Jones
Feb 4, 2008


Hillary Clinton is working every angle as Super Tuesday nears, and she has made news again by crying on the campaign trail, causing many to now believe she is using that as a tactic to get sympathy support. The US Senator from New York even has welcomed the support of right-wing Fox commentator Ann Coulter. Coulter had earlier stated that she will not support Senator John McCain (R-AZ) if he is the nominee for the Republican Party, and even shocked some observers by saying that she would campaign for Hillary.

Hillary Clinton: Welcomes Ann Coulter Support

Hillary has now said that she will take the support anywhere she can get it. On what she thinks of Ann Coulter saying she'd vote for her over McCain she told ABC news, "This will be an interesting election all the way through. ... You never know. Strange bedfellows and all of that." She added, "And, you know, at some point, I'm happy to have any voters, although this one took me somewhat by surprise".


On her crying, many believe now that every time she gets into trouble she will try to look human by turning on the tears. And just in case the cameras didn't catch it she made sure to mention it. "Well, I said I would not tear up; already we're not exactly on the path," Clinton said after her attempt at tears.

For cynics, it is not the first time she has cried to get votes. Just before the New Hampshire Primary, she turned it on to get people to feel sorry for her and grab some votes. And who can argue, the voters in New Hampshire fell for it. But will it really help her on Super Tuesday? http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272618676.shtml

14. A very classy humble response -- there is no other way to interpret it
And any attempt to do so by the American "Idle" crowd will reap a huge backlash from the sentient beings.

Aren't things weird enough here without stretching these bits of news to their breaking point?

11. As an Obama supporter, I say the job of a candidate is to get votes.
Every voter can vote for who they wish, and I could care less who votes for who.

If McCain said he intends to vote for Obama, I'd say great!

12. Hey, the Obama supporters have been telling us...
...we have to "reach out" to Republicans, and that Obama is the only one who came "bring them in" to "the big tent."

If anybody complains about the craziest whackjob Republican in the universe being converted to our side, that would be true hypocrisy.

15. If I were Hillary, I would have said something more like...
"I'd be happy to have Coulter's vote, provided that this time she's legally registered at the correct address. And while I appreciate her support, I don't think I'll be inviting her to campaign with me or to have dinner at The White House."

The pukes can beat her.

Obama will toast them!!!

And McCain's already won the puke nomination - so her endorsement was not about him. It was more political tap dancing...
