Author and columnist Ann Coulter took credit the other night for defeating Hillary Clinton. 

From the DC Examiner

When conservative firebrand Ann Coulter said early last year that she’d campaign for Hillary Clinton if John McCain was the Republican nominee, a lot of observers thought she was being merely hyperbolic.

Yet to hear her tell it, there was a method to her madness. “I think I killed that woman’s nomination,” she said on Monday in an address to the Clare Booth Luce Policy Institute, a conservative women’s organization (“an audience of Sarah Palins,” she enthused). She said in the wake of her comment, progressive talk radio lit up with callers who suddenly had misgivings about Clinton.

“Soon after I ran into [Obama adviser] David Axelrod and said ‘You owe me,’” she said. “And he basically conceded the point.”

She hasn’t softened any on McCain, however. “Who are these Republicans who voted for McCain?” she asked. “We’ve got to find them and punish them.”

Did she try to offend? You bet. She remarked that she can’t understand liberals such as Arianna Huffington, Markos Moulitsas and George Soros because of their accents.  “Whatever you say about Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, at least they speak in standard, decipherable English,” she said.

But, she’s self-actualized about it. “I write the way I write because it gives me a laugh,” she said. And she closed her prepared remarks by saying, “If anything I’ve said has offended you, my work is done.”

Thanks Ann, now have Obama.
