New York - Republicans relish the prospect of Hillary Clinton running for president in 2008, just so they can vote against her, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani was quoted as saying on Tuesday.

Giuliani - who is expected to be a leading candidate for the Republican Party nomination - described the New York senator and former first lady as a polarising force who ignited strong passions across the political spectrum, the New York Post reported.

"Democrats seem to support her as their main candidate for president - she's way ahead of anybody else - and it seems like Republicans are just waiting for her to be the candidate so they can vote against her," he said.

"She definitely creates passions on both sides," he added.

"Hillary probably has the distinction of being the best fundraiser for the Democratic Party - and the best fundraiser for the Republican Party," he said.

Clinton has yet to officially state her intention to run, but has been tipped as the leading Democratic hope.

A poll in Time Magazine, however, suggested that she would be pipped in a head-to-head challenge by top Republican contender senator John McCain.
