Hillary Clinton will not stand against incumbent Kerry, says Bill

[maddezmom]

PARIS (AFP) - Former US president Bill Clinton (news - web sites) indicated that his wife, Senator Hillary Clinton (news - web sites), would not stand for the presidency for at least eight years if Democratic nominee John Kerry (news - web sites) won this year's vote.


His comments would appear to rule out Hillary Clinton standing against an incumbent Kerry in 2008.


"We're going to help John Kerry. If he wins, then four years from now we'll try to help him again," Clinton said in Paris on a promotional visit for his memoirs, "My Life."


"Eight years from now, who knows? If she ever wants to run, I'll certainly support her. She's very good. I'm quite a good judge at political talent, and she's the ablest person I've ever known."

DJ Clinton Has Hunch That Bush Won't Win Election - Report

PARIS (AP)--Former U.S. President Bill Clinton says he's got a hunch that
George W. Bush won't win another term at the White House.
In Paris to promote his autobiography, Clinton called Democratic presidential
candidate John Kerry a "strong leader and very capable" in an interview
published Friday in Le Figaro newspaper.
Though wars have helped sitting presidents win re-election in the past,
Clinton said he didn't think Bush's handling of Iraq would work in the
incumbent's favor this November.
"My instinct tells me that the current situation does not guarantee Bush's
re-election," Clinton was quoted as saying in comments that were published in
French and translated back into English by The Associated Press.
Clinton said the situation in Iraq was a byproduct of two factors: "First, a
singular obsession of the Bush administration, concerning this conflict. And,
the pain, the very particular passion felt in America after Sept. 11."
Saying the U.S. hadn't previously seen itself as an "arrogant, military
power," Clinton added: "I am in profound disagreement with the method of the
current government."
