WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Failed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said on Sunday she hoped there would a female U.S. president in her lifetime but ruled out the chance she would run again.
Now secretary of state in the Cabinet of her onetime rival President Barack Obama, Clinton said it was a "daunting" challenge for a woman to run for president.
"It will take the right woman who can make the case and win the votes and get elected. I am certainly hoping it will happen in my lifetime," she told NBC's "Meet the Press" program.
When pressed whether she would run again, she said, "I have absolutely no belief, in my mind, that that will happen."
Clinton declined comment on the presidential prospects for outgoing Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who was Republican contender Senator John McCain's running mate in last year's race.

Ya never know. Remember, Bill Clinton refused to say anything bad about Sarah. Don’t worry Hillary, you will live long enough to see the first female President, when Sarah Palin takes the oath of office in 2012

Hillary for Sarah? Now, now...don't let's get overexcited.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Failed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said... This is NOT the [muslim] rooters that I know and have known. What's gotten into rooters starting off their article with "failed" as an adjective with a sentence about Hillary! ?

It was supposed to be hers!! To lose to a black community service worker...Wow!!....
Happen in her lifetime?? I'm sure she could care less. I don't think she'll be around much longer. She should have stayed in the Senate where she did have some power. At least it got her out of my state.

Oh Hillary there will be a woman as president, hopefully in 2012:
