MODESTO, Calif. (AP) -- One former first lady is offering predictions about another. Barbara Bush said former first lady, and current senator, Hillary Rodham Clinton will be the Democratic candidate for president in 2008.
But Sen. Clinton won't be the nation's first female president, at least not according to Mrs. Bush.
Mrs. Bush, 79, said Clinton will lose in the next election.
Mrs. Bush also predicted Condoleezza Rice won't run for president in the next election.
Mrs. Bush spoke to high school and college students in Modesto, Calif. She told them she never dreamed she'd be the wife of one president and the mother of another.
As for the current chief executive, his mother jokes that when he was a boy, she "just hoped he'd grow up."
