"I'm a big admirer of John McCain's," Clinton -- the former US first lady and one of the most prominent Democrats in the US Congress -- told the "Fox News Sunday" program.


McCain, a decorated Navy war hero and prominent senator from Arizona, lost the Republican presidential nomination to President George W. Bush (news - web sites) in the 2000 race.


"I've spoken with Senator McCain and he assures me he's not interested, but you know, we'll see what happens."


McCain has already said that he would not accept the vice presidential nomination if it were offered to him, but his name continues to swirl around Washington as a possible running mate for Massachusetts Senator John Kerry (news - web sites), the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.


McCain was prisoner of war during the Vietnam War and has strong credentials on defense issues. He has gained a reputation as a tough-nosed, independent voice within Bush's party who is unafraid to criticize the president on high-profile issues.


Although he is perceived as a moderate, he has several key policy differences with Kerry, notably on the emotive and divisive issue of abortion rights -- which Kerry supports and McCain opposes.


"No two people have exactly the same position on every issue," Clinton said.


"These are unusual times," she said.
