The next Bush president?
From 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 Dick 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.
Back in April, Lynne Cheney also went on record stating that the next Bush president should be a woman. Cheney said some people think former presidential wife Sen. Hillary Clinton should run for president, but she’s looking to first lady Laura Bush.
I do believe that Laura Bush would easily beat Hillary Clinton in a presidential race, however I don’t believe that Mrs. Bush would ever run for president. I am only basing that on my gut instinct…my woman’s intuition. I find it a very intriguing idea, though; an idea that points out Mrs. Clinton’s weaknesses, which happen to be the same as Mrs. Bush’s strengths - trust, charm, humility, reputation, steadfast character, etc.
Consider, also, this editoral opinion from USA Today on 5-23-05:
After staying in the White House bubble for much of her husband’s first term, Laura Bush is emerging in his second as a refreshing truth-teller cutting through political spin. In fact, on her current trip to the Middle East, the first lady is showing a transformation so substantive that it could have an impact on her husband’s legacy.
