WASHINGTON --Republican strategist Karl Rove laid out a line of attack Wednesday that he said could defeat either of the two Democratic front-runners for president. Speaking at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting, Rove said Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton could be taken to task for proposing a "big government" health care system and $800 million in new spending despite claims to "fiscal responsibility."

The former White House adviser said Clinton also "has a problem giving straight answers" and cited her inconclusive response when asked in a debate last month whether she favored driver's licenses for illegal immigrants.

Taking aim at the other Democratic front-runner, Rove said Illinois Sen. Barack Obama is vulnerable to "questions about his accomplishments" as a first-term senator and "whether he has the experience that would equip him to be commander in chief in a time of war."

In an apparent acknowledgment of the uphill challenge facing the Republicans this year, Rove said the party's nominee has "big tasks to undertake." He said the path to victory would include stressing "kitchen table issues" such as health care, the economy and trade.
Charlotte Observer | 01/17/2008 | Rove sees ways to beat Clinton or Obama

I recall quite a while back in here people talking of the next Dem. President........seems all the talk now is about Ron Paul and NOTHING positive about either Hillary or Obama. They both look beatable and with a portion of the independent vote (Ron Paul people) not voting; looks all that much better for the GOP.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
