Albany, New York (US):
What is it with Karl Rove's obsession with me, Hillary Clinton wants to know.
The President's political Svengali predicts in a new book that Clinton will win the Democratic nomination in 2008 - but lose the White House.
"She is the dominant player on their side of the slate," Rove tells Washington insider Bill Sammon in his new book "Strategery."
"Anybody who thinks that she's not going to be the candidate is kidding themselves."And while Rove - and President Bush - praise Clinton for her "hard-driving" ways in the book, Rove also says there is a "brittleness about her" that could prove her undoing.

Clinton pulled no punches in her response."Karl Rove spends a lot of time obsessing about me," she told Albany radio station WROW. "He spends more time thinking about my political future than I do."Clinton accused the Bush White House of "trying to avoid what's really happening in the county and the world right now" by focusing on her.She specifically cited the administration's now-stalled deal with a United Arab Emirates company to oversee operations at six major ports, including New York.
