WASHINGTON, June 2 - In two television interviews this week, former President Bill Clinton talked up Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential prospects and left open the possibility that she would run in 2008.
While Mr. Clinton made it clear that his wife had not decided what to do about 2008, he said she would make a "magnificent" president and even mused aloud about how she might lay the groundwork for a national run.
In the process, Mr. Clinton seemed to stray from the strict party line put forth by Mrs. Clinton and her tight-lipped cadre of advisers: that she is totally focused on getting re-elected to the Senate in 2006 - and not even thinking about 2008.
Mr. Clinton, for example, said Mrs. Clinton should not rule out the possibility of running for president in 2008, even if that means she cannot pledge to serve out a full second term.
