Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Republican presidential hopeful, said Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., will be the Democratic Party candidate for 2008.
However, in an interview with The Washington Times, Huckabee slammed Clinton for not voting for a Senate resolution last week condemning an ad in The New York Times by the Moveon.org political group that criticized U.S. Army Gen. David Petraeus’ performance as top commander in Iraq.

FORT MILL — Fresh off what he called a “stunning upset” last week in the Iowa straw poll, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee told York County Republicans on Tuesday that he can rescue the GOP next November.In his second visit to Fort Mill in the last four months, Huckabee never once spoke the name of his rival, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. But his comments left little doubt who he was talking about.
“This country is not so much about gold roots as it is about grassroots,” Huckabee told 60 people at Beef O’Brady’s in Baxter Village. He later added, “Leadership is not about having enough money that you can buy the presidency.”
