In the interview, conducted last month in his Harlem office in New York, Mr. Clinton also admonished Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean, without specifically naming him, for saying that he alone represents "the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party."
Calling on the party's liberal and centrist wings to stop their ideological warfare, Mr. Clinton said he had "no objection in this primary season Candidate X saying, 'I'm for that,' and Candidate Y saying, 'I'm against it.' You've got to have a little of that."
"But I don't believe that either side should be saying, 'I'm a real Democrat and the other one's not,' or, 'I'm a winning Democrat and the other one's not,' " he said.
Throughout his campaign, Mr. Dean, an antiwar liberal who has attacked his chief rivals for the party's nomination for supporting the war in Iraq, has brought Democrats to their feet, cheering, with the line: "I'm Howard Dean and I represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party."
