US Vice President Dick Cheney said Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton could win the White House in 2008 and that a potential Democratic opponent, Senator Barack Obama, is too inexperienced.
Mrs Clinton, a New York Democrat who is running for re-election, is considered a likely contender for the White House in 2008.
Mr Obama, serving his first term as a US senator from Illinois, has been touted recently as a possible candidate, something he said he would consider.
"I think Hillary Clinton is a formidable candidate," Mr Cheney said in an interview with Fox News' Hannity and Colmes due to air today.
"I think she could win. I hope she doesn't. I disagree with her on nearly all the issues, but nobody should underestimate her. She's a very serious candidate for president."
Mr Cheney reiterated that he had no intention of running for president.
"I'm not coy about it. I made my decision a long time ago, and it's firm, final, fixed, irrevocable."

If I had wings, I 'could' fly.
Did you know that "Song of the South" is unavailable in the United States?
Thats the movie with B'rer Rabbit and Uncle Remus.
Think of the money our government could save if Giuliani won in 2008. He'd be President and First Lady at the same time!
Neither one of them, if nominated by the Democrats, stands a chance of winning the presidency.
I say that as well yet I keep getting Freepers telling me "Oh there is no way she can win"... Yeah, I thought that too when she running for Senator in 2000. Then she pulled out a rabbit from her hat in the form of pardons from her personal sexual predator. Never underestimate evil.... If it puts the lives of millions in danger, the Clintons will do it. Before she set her fat arse for one second on that freggin` "listening tour", her husband had already set loose the FALN upon New York.

Run Hillary Run!
Condi is D.O.A. People on the street I talk to don't trust her. She hasn't "made her bones" as a conservative. I agree with them, that is, I don't trust her either.
As soon as this election is over the MSM will begin a two-year marathon of Hillary-fest in preparation for her run. In two years time Hillary will be reinvented as the saviour of the world, the universe, etc. There will be many mini-series about her saving baby seals, saving whole counties, and the like. It'll be sickening.
The only way she could win is to resort to vice, avarice, and treachery along with an enormous amount of outrageous lying, sliming, a lots of ash trays thrown to whomever questions her about anything.
But could Cheney? Suppose Bush taps him.
We tend to forget that Presidents are administrators. Govenors are administrators. Vice Presidents are administraotrs. Army Generals are administrators. senators are not administrators. They are legislators.
The last sitting Senator to win the White House was Kennedy, if I'm not mistaken. And Hillary wouldn't make a pimple on Kennedy's a$$.
Check out my tagline for a conservative GOP candidate that would carry the Republican base in '08. His camera appeal is far and above way better than Clinton.
Guilliani loses conservatives. He can't scarf enough votes from the middle to win. His candidacy will only revive the conservative 3rd parties and then yet another Clinton will take the WH with only 4x% of the vote. Guilliani had his chance to take on Hillary in NY. I believe that is the only place he could ever win over her anyway.
McCain is also another no go and I can't even remember seeing a positive comment made about him here on FR though I'll admit I'm not an everyday visitor.
I just cut and pasted your post into my Hillary Prediction file. I don't underestimate at all the evil that womyn is capable of. I wish others would wake up.
Immigration is now, and will be, a potent issue--a consensus issue that cuts across party lines.
The candidate will have had to be on the right side of the issue from the getgo.
So how is Hitlery going to explain her husband's craven pardons of Puerto Rican FALN terrorists so she could harvest the NY Latin vote for her first Senate effort?
