Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton appears to be relishing her role as the No. 1 target of both Republican and Democratic candidates in the 2008 presidential race, saying she'd rather be getting the attention she's grabbed lately than not.

The New York senator and former first lady, who has a solid lead both nationally and in the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire, told FOX News on Thursday that she isn't paying attention to whether the other candidates are ganging up on her nor is she concerned with her rivals' campaigns.

Asked if the laser is focused on her because she is looking more and more like the Democratic nominee, the lone female candidate in the race joked: "As a friend of mine said, 'When you get to be our age, having all these men obsessed by you is not all that bad."

Clinton has a double-digit lead in the Granite State with a little more than two months until the Jan. 22 primary. In a FOX News-Opinion Dynamics poll conducted Oct. 9-10 among 900 registered voters nationwide, Clinton got 50 percent of the vote in the primary match-up compared to 18 percent for Sen. Barack Obama and 11 percent for John Edwards. The margin of error was 3 percent in that poll. Seventy-three percent of those surveyed also said Clinton is somewhat or very qualified to be president; 44 percent said they expected that she will become the next president.
