August 24, 2007 -- WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton
yesterday raised the prospect of a terror attack before next year's
election, warning that it could boost the GOP's efforts to hold on to
the White House.
Discussing the possibility of a new nightmare
assault while campaigning in New Hampshire, Clinton also insisted she
is the Democratic candidate best equipped to deal with it.
"It's a horrible prospect to ask yourself, 'What if? What if?' But if
certain things happen between now and the election, particularly with
respect to terrorism, that will automatically give the Republicans an
advantage again, no matter how badly they have mishandled it, no matter
how much more dangerous they have made the world," Clinton told
supporters in Concord.
"So I think I'm the best of the Democrats to deal with that," she added.
