Lynne Cheney says she would be uncomfortable with Hillary Rodham Clinton as president - and wishes the Democratic front-runner were more like her own husband.
"I'm certainly not going to be a supporter of Mrs. Clinton's and I have been troubled by the fact that you can't know what sort of president she would be, particularly on national security," Cheney, wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, said in an interview with The Associated Press Wednesday.
"It makes me uncomfortable," she said. "I kind of like politicians that are more in the Dick Cheney mold, who say what they mean and mean what they say."
Clinton spokesman Phil Singer countered that the New York senator's campaign wasn't counting on Mrs. Cheney's vote, "considering that Senator Clinton will reverse the failed Bush-Cheney policies, especially in Iraq."
