"I am absolutely convinced that there are weapons...I saw evidence back in 1998 when we would see the inspectors being barred from gaining entry into a warehouse for three hours with trucks rolling up and then moving those trucks out." -- Clinton's Secretary of Defense William Cohen in April of 2003

 Hillary's leading, but so was Dean
Howard Dean strutted across the stage at Dartmouth College with his hand outstretched toward Senator Hillary Clinton -- yesteryear's great Democratic contender extending a friendly greeting to the party's candidate of the moment.It was just a momentary encounter, nothing more than a ritual exchange of niceties. But it worked just fine as a metaphor for Clinton's rivals, who are anxious to dispel the notion that she already has a lock on the Democratic presidential nomination.

Howard Dean strutted across the stage at Dartmouth College with his hand outstretched toward Senator Hillary Clinton -- yesteryear's great Democratic contender extending a friendly greeting to the party's candidate of the moment.It was just a momentary encounter, nothing more than a ritual exchange of niceties. But it worked just fine as a metaphor for Clinton's rivals, who are anxious to dispel the notion that she already has a lock on the Democratic presidential nomination.As Democrat candidates gathered here this week for a key debate ahead of the 2008 presidential primaries, Clinton critics were eager to cast her as ripe for the same mammoth political collapse Dean suffered in 2004."I am perfectly willing to concede the lead to Hillary at the end of September," says David Axelrod, the chief media strategist for her chief rival, Illinois Senator Barack Obama."But if you have any doubts that these campaigns are fluid, go talk to Howard Dean.

John Edwards, the party's vice-presidential nominee in 2004, is a distant third with 11 per cent.
