"What is at stake is how to answer the potential threat Iraq represents with the risk of proliferation of WMD. Baghdad's regime did use such weapons in the past. Today, a number of evidences may lead to think that, over the past four years, in the absence of international inspectors, this country has continued armament programs." -- Jacques Chirac, October 16, 2002

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) may be the envy of the 2008 Democratic presidential field when it comes to the polls, but at Wednesday’s debate in New Hampshire she likely will receive some of the less-welcome attention that comes with her status as the favorite.Clinton’s rivals, especially those who have been seeing “second-tier” beside their names, may be feeling desperate as the campaign season heats up.“She’s clearly the front-runner,” a Democratic strategist and Clinton supporter, Steve Elmendorf, said. “The question for everyone who’s not is what do they need to do to knock her off.”Both Elmendorf and Dante Scala, a political science professor at the University of New Hampshire, said the early strategies of Clinton’s rivals — wait for her to implode, stumble or become too polarizing a figure to advance — have not come to be. Now, the only way to weaken Clinton’s standings is to start attacking her on what they perceive as her weaknesses. The question is, who will strike out first.“Their options are becoming more and more limited,” Scala said. “We’re going to see sharper attacks, [and] conventional wisdom among the candidates is that Clinton is the one to shoot for.”If Clinton were to win not just the nomination but also the presidency, some of the candidates might want a job from her, Elmendorf said, making the decision to attack her all the more daunting.“It’s a game of chicken between those guys to see who’s going to attack her,” Elmendorf said. He added that with time running out, “Either they do it, or it’s going to pass them by.”spam said in the past that there has been a reluctance from some candidates to attack the perceived front-runner for fear of giving another opponent a boost.
