A Friday Newsmax article reports Former President Clinton complimented Sarah Palin’s political skills Thursday, but wouldn’t be drawn on whether his wife Hillary could run for the White House in 2012.

Clinton said he didn’t agree with Republican vice presidential pick Palin on politics, but warned fellow Democrats not to underestimate her calling her “…an instinctively effective candidate and with a compelling story.”

“I get why she’s done so well,” Clinton said. “It’s a mistake to underestimate her. She’s got good intuitive skills. They’re significant.”

Clinton said he thought McCain, a Vietnam War hero and veteran lawmaker, was a “great man” and that the Nov. 4 election would be close, but he predicted Democratic Sen. Barack Obama would emerge the winner.
