Laura Bush/Hillary Clinton presidential matchup?
Mon May 30, 1:11 PM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - First lady Laura Bush would defeat U.S. Sen.
Hillary
Rodham Clinton if the two were to face each other in the 2008
presidential
contest, Vice President ***** Cheney said on Monday.
Cheney made the prediction after his wife, Lynne Cheney, suggested the
matchup in an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live."
Mrs. Cheney noted the rampant speculation that the former first lady,
now a
senator from New York, would make a bid in the next presidential
go-around.
President Bush cannot seek a third term in office. His father, former
President Bush, was defeated after one term by former President Bill
Clinton.
"You know, people are thinking of Mrs. Clinton running for president. I
think Mrs. Bush ought to run for president," Mrs. Cheney said. "If we
want
to have a Bush dynasty, let's get Laura Bush."
The vice president, who again ruled out making his own run for
president
when Bush's term ends, agreed.
"It's a great idea," ***** Cheney said. "And I think I know who would
win
too."
