"President Bush also offered in the ABC interview some rare public assessments of the ongoing U.S. election campaign. Asked who he thought the next president would be, Bush answered that he has "no idea," but he acknowledged telling another journalist that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) would probably be the Democratic nominee. 

"I think she's a very formidable candidate," Bush said. "One of the interesting things that she brings is that she has been under pressure. She understands the klieg lights. You know what I'm talking about.""
