Ann Coulter and Hillary Clinton (The Odd Couple)

A few mornings ago when I was getting ready for work I had Fox News on (yeah, I know). Ann Coulter was a guest on some talk show and she was stating that if McCain and Clinton got the nominations for their respective parties then she would DEFINITELY vote for Clinton. At first I wasn't sure if she was saying this for pure shock value, but she seems pretty set on those words. She claims that Clinton is far more conservative than McCain. I'm not sure I agree with that statement overall but I think I could see how Clinton could be considered more conservative than McCain on a FEW issues (perhaps the only issues that really matters toward Coulter).

At first I didn't like this endorsement from Coulter (since I can't stand Coulter). But the more I thought about it, the more I thought it could help Clinton in general election time (if she gets the nomination)... All along Republicans have done nothing but bash and abuse Clinton; yet if she can get an endorsement from a very conservative and (unfortunately) influential columnist then I think that says a lot. As much as I hope Clinton gets the nomination, I have serious doubts that it is going to happen at this point. Too much (undeserved, in my opinion) momentum has been transfered to the Obama campaign. It's going to be a tall order for Clinton to overcome that, unfortunately.

BUT... the other night I had a dream where Clinton got the nomination and Coulter was selected as her running mate! Wouldn't that truly be an odd couple!
