Dancing, singing or modeling? Asked to choose what reality TV programme she would prefer to compete on, Hillary Rodham Clinton chose the popular Dancing With the Stars.

“In my dreams I would be on ‘America’s Next Top Model’ but in reality I would have to choose my limited talents and of them dancing is better than singing,” Clinton said on Monday during a taping of The Tyra Banks Show.

“You do not want me to sing.” That was an apparent reference to her off-key rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner, which has made the rounds on YouTube.

In the interview, the Democratic presidential candidate discussed an emotional moment she had with voters on the eve of the New Hampshire primary, which some analysts credit with helping her to an unexpected win, and her recent comments about Martin Luther King Jr that helped push the issue of race to the forefront of the campaign against Barack Obama, who is bidding to be the first black president, for the Democratic nomination.

She even suggested a nationwide contest, “like a reality show”, for a title for her husband, former President Bill Clinton, should she win the nomination and be elected the nation’s first female president.

“Here are some of the things that have been suggested, like ‘First Mate’,” Hillary said.
