In an interview with CNN’s Larry King, Dick and Lynne Cheney joked Laura Bush could defeat Hillary Clinton in a presidential match-up. Lynne Cheney said:

"You know, people are thinking of Mrs. Clinton running for president. I think Mrs. Bush ought to run for president. If we want to have a Bush dynasty, let's get Laura Bush."

Dick Cheney again denied any talk of a presidential run of his own, but said of Laura running against Hillary, “It's a great idea. And I think I know who would win too."
