GOP to target Sen. Barack Obama

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Republicans who had planned a strategy to run against Hillary Clinton are scrambling now to include Democrat Barack Obama in the mix for the U.S. presidency.

"Obama poses a greater threat to the GOP because he doesn't provide the same fuel to the GOP base," Republican election strategist Brett Sciotto told The Washington Times.

Obama, D-Ill., won Iowa's Democratic caucuses in an upset last week and finished a respectable second to Clinton, D-N.Y., in Tuesday's New Hampshire primary.

"Some think that Obama is a lightweight, and that voters will not see him as presidential material," Republican Party consultant Sal Russo told the Times. "The problem is that the same was said in 1960 about John F. Kennedy."
