Washington, D.C. - Former First Lady Barbara Bush said in a television interview that she "hopes" Sarah Palin stays in Alaska.

Palin said last week that she is considering running for president in 2012. She also said she believed she could beat President Barack Obama.

However, in an interview with CNN's Larry King, Mrs. Bush didn't seem to think that was such a good plan. Mrs. Bush said she had sat next to Palin once.

"Thought she was beautiful. And she's very happy in Alaska. I hope she'll stay there," Mrs. Bush said.

The entire interview is set to air on CNN on Monday night.
