Who else, their favorite candidate!
From the Washington Post:
GOP Has Hillary Clinton on Its MindIt's not just President Bush who has already declared Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) the winner of the Democratic presidential nomination. GOP leaders in the Senate chimed in yesterday, saying that the Democratic nod is an all-but-done deal.During a news conference commemorating the first anniversary of the Democratic takeover of Congress, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said, "I think the '08 election is going to be about Senator Clinton and where she wants to take America. . . . So the landscape, next year, in my view, is going to be about this new Congress and its presidential nominee -- in all likelihood, a member of this Congress -- and where [Democrats] want to take America."McConnell, who watched his home-state Republican governor tossed out by voters Tuesday, said the 2008 elections will not be like 2006, "when they had a referendum on the Iraq war."Separately, Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott (R-Miss.) told On the Hill that he's convinced Clinton will win the nomination. "I assume she's gonna," he said, adding that he and his Republican colleagues are already thinking of how they'll craft next year's political strategy around an anti-Clinton theme. "Sure, we're beginning to think in those terms."But Lott acknowledged his own party's image problem: President Bush. Asked who would be the bigger drag -- Democratic nominee Clinton on her party's congressional candidates or Bush on his -- Lott demurred. After pausing for several seconds, he smiled and managed to say: "I don't know. It'd just be pure speculation."
