Falwell Says Hillary Would Spark Base Sunday September 24, 2006 6:31 PM WASHINGTON (AP) - The Rev. Jerry Falwell says a White House run by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton would energize his base of religious conservatives even more than if the devil were the Democratic nominee. ``I certainly hope that Hillary is the candidate,'' Falwell told a private prayer breakfast. ``Because nothing will energize my (constituency) like Hillary Clinton.'' ``If Lucifer ran, he wouldn't,'' Falwell added, drawing a roomful of laughs and cheers. The remarks came during a 40-minute address Friday morning at the ``Values Voter Summit,'' sponsored by the country's leading conservatives and featuring several Republicans who are considering running for president in 2008. The Los Angeles Times, which reported Falwell's comments in a story Sunday, said it obtained a tape recording of the talk and confirmed Falwell's remarks with those who heard them. An aide to Falwell said the remarks were off-the-cuff and not intended to demonize the Democratic senator from New York. Attendees also were assured during the prayer breakfast that God would preserve a Republican majority in Congress. There was no immediate reaction Sunday from the senator's office. --- WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. John McCain is predicting Republicans will maintain control of Congress but acknowledges it will be a tough battle because of voter concern about the Iraq war. McCain, a likely GOP presidential contender in 2008, blamed partisanship for Congress' failure to act on important bills such as Social Security. Voters will have a better impression if lawmakers ``lower the rhetoric a little bit and work together a little more,'' the Arizona Republican said. ``It's going to be very, very tough,'' McCain said, referring to GOP's chances in the November elections. ``Iraq is a very controversial issue with Americans. And there's uncertainty about our future because of globalization. But we also think we have a record we can stand on.''
