HANNITY: And Senator John McCain is gaining momentum, but not all conservatives are jumping for joy. Senator McCain is a polarizing candidate for many. And critics point to his stance on immigration, his work with Russ Feingold. But with a potential Hillary Clinton candidacy on the Democratic side of the aisle, will true conservatives eventually fall in line and support the Arizona senator?
Joining us now, author of the "New York Times" best seller, "If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd be Republicans," our friend Ann Coulter. How are you?
ANN COULTER, AUTHOR, "IF DEMOCRATS HAD ANY BRAINS": Fine, thank you.
HANNITY: I'm standing on substance here.
COULTER: Yes.
HANNITY: It's immigration. It's limits on free speech. It's not supporting tax cuts.
COULTER: It's Anwar. It's torture at Guantanamo.
HANNITY: Class warfare rhetoric. It's interrogations. It's Guantanamo. It's Anwar. These are not small issues to conservatives.
COULTER: No, and if you're looking at substance rather than whether it's an R or D after his name, manifestly, if our's candidate than Hillary's going to be our girl, Sean, because she's more conservative than he is. I think she would be stronger on the war on terrorism. I absolutely believe that.
HANNITY: That's the one area I disagree with you.
COULTER: No, yes, we're going to sign up together. Let me explain that point on terrorism.
HANNITY: You'd vote for Hillary --
COULTER: I will campaign for her if it's McCain.

Lots could happen here...
1) scare the dummycrats into nominating Obama, who would be unelectable in the presidential race.
2) This close to super Tuesday, her comments will be fresh in the minds of every republican voter when deciding between Mitt or McCain, and Mitt will win.
In any event, I really don’t think she’s going to vote for Clintoon.
I should have thought of this quite awhile ago, but my state has 100% probability of going blue this round unless there is some change before the election, and Mitt wouldn't be the deal breaker. My vote isn't going to count if I vote R because of the electoral votes which I want to keep although I don't think they are currently exercised as the founders intended, but I've not studied that.
So the best I can hope for the way things look now is to vote R for house and senate and down the ticket where it might count there.
If Mitt should squeak through, I'll vote for him, but it won't count, will only be symbolic and if there's no cheating, will show up in the popular vote count. I certainly don't endorse him across the board, but he has enough positives for me in this election, but I don't think he can win. He could put up a good fight though. I would even vote for Huckabee now even with his negatives whereas I wasn't so inclined before, but I don't see him going anywhere.

I watched this. It was hysterical simply for Alan Colmes going over the moon.
I had several impressions.
1) Ann knows how to get attention.
2) Ann does not like McCain, and was talking out of the anger most of us conservatives feel.
3) I understand her point, but I think she is wrong. Ginsberg and Souter and waiting for a lib to come in to retire. I’ll take McCains choices, such as they may be, over Obamas and Clintons.
This may, ultimately, be what The Creator is watching...how long will He sustain a country that slaughters His little ones?

Mr Mo, Ann is doing her part for conservatives. God Bless her! She is my hero.
Powder..patch..ball FIRE!
So McINsane thinks he could be a democrat? and be John boy’s Vp selection?
Why are republicans even debating whether to vote for him anymore?
As I said in a previous post, Ms. Coulter needs Midol and a sandwich. While she’s at it she might want to purchase a muzzle so we can be spared her assinine comments about supporting Hillary.
Except Romney? I don’t know about that. I’m hoping Romney wins, but he molded himself into an electable candidate to win the Governor spot in Mass, and is now having a hard time backing out of some of his former positions.
My favorite is his story about being a hunter. I think he is the most conservative among the candidates, but the survivors all have negatives.
heh ... I’m a conservative and not happy with the choices left ... but a democrat landslide would put conservatives in minority status for a quite a long time (or forever) ... It is not just the presidency at stake ... it is the house, senate, and the courts.
Where the heck were the conservatives in the early contests? Which were red states! NH, IOWA, NEVADA, SC, and FLORIDA. Many more people have participated in the frickin’ democrat contests in these states! That should set off a huge frickin’ alarm for the bigwigs at the RNC! We had 5 conservative candidates (who all dropped out due to lack of support ... i.e. voting and contributions; Brownback, Gilmore, Tancredo, Hunter, and Thompson) ... then left with 4 RINOs (Rudy who since dropped out, Romney, McCain, and Huckabee) and one who knows what (Paul)
The attention B**** is throwing another bomb.
Excellent one FRiend :)
What will most republicans in congress do when democrat Hillary tries to pass Shamnesty?
What will most republicans in congress do when republican McCain tries to pass Shamnesty?
It is probable that fewer liberal initiatives will become law with Hillary in office than with McCain in office.
Nevertheless, I hate what both of them stand for and would not cast a vote for either.
We now have two parties pursuing liberal policies and almost indistinguishable from each other.
It is time to start a National Conservative Party to offer voters a second option.
Why? Because I quoted figures from the generally-respected American Conservative Union which showed that McCain (whom I don't admire, politically) is more conservative than Hillary or Obama? Facts ARE facts...and I don't think it unreasoning as a conservative to want someone less damaging to the nation than Hillary or Obama to be the CINC, etc. Reasonable people can certainly disagree with me - but I had their approximate point of view in 1992, and went along with a bunch of people who didn't vote for Bush 41 (RINO Emeritus, NWO)...which gave us Bill Clinton AND Monica's Ex-Boyfriend's Wife. I've learned from my mistakes.
Maybe you were being sarcastic and I missed it.
How did we end up with such a rotten bunch to choose from this election?
reread that, folks.
Believe it = and don't you think that the enemies of our country, our troops are encouraged by your posts saying you'd vote for their candidate rather than McC - or sit it out/vote 3rd party = which is equal to giving Hitlery another vote.
All this rhetoric will give them momentum to carry on - how many more of these scenes will you have helped bring about?
Our prime enemy here, folks, is the mooseslimes...all else pales - even your own egotistical belief that your cause is more important than all else
