It’s her first event of the day—and not yet 11 in the morning—but already Chelsea Clinton looks tired: There’s a puffiness under her blue eyes and a heaviness to her smile. Taking the stage at the Hillary for America headquarters in Milwaukee, she grabs a stool. “Please know I’m sitting because I’m pregnant,” she assures the roomful of supporters, stroking her swollen belly. “It is not at all a reflection on my gratitude for you all being here or my enthusiasm for my mom’s campaign.”
Wisconsin’s April 5 primary is less than two weeks away, and for the next 20 minutes, Chelsea makes a case for why her mom is the most qualified candidate—the only candidate, really—for the job of president. She speaks slowly and deliberately, her voice low and modulated. After weeks of hard campaigning, she has grown slightly hoarse. But otherwise there are no rough edges to her. No seams. No rambling or verbal filler. Like Hillary, Chelsea is neither an inspirational nor a motivational speaker. But her soothing aspect is strangely compelling, like that of a meditation guide or a priest.
After her remarks, Chelsea makes her way to a side room where a gaggle of reporters hovers. This is the campaign chore she has always liked least, having long had an uneasy relationship with the media. In this way, too, she is very much her mother’s child. Methodical, deliberate, cautious, detail-oriented, and disciplined, she tries to keep an iron grip on her own narrative. Journalists pose a constant threat to that control.

Poised. This is the word used to describe Chelsea more often than any other. Friends praise her as thoughtful, genuine, gracious, hardworking, brilliant, passionate about her causes, and, as is de rigeur for famous people one is aiming to humanize, down-to-earth.
It reminds me of the recitation that Army colleagues of Raymond Shaw stated in The Manchurian Candidate.
Webb Hubble was on Fox & Friends this morning!!!! Praising Hillery her problems have ALWAYS been right wing conspiracy since days in Arkansas Bla, Bla, Bla...........
Webb Hubbell is still with us. Wonder what he thinks of her?
Of course what she does is so much more stressful and hard than what I did growing up. Stacking 30,000 bales of hay a year in 90 degree heat, throwing calves to brand and castrate them, fixing fences on the rainy days, and breaking a few two year old horses for fun in my spare time. Oh, I also got paid....nothing.
I still wouldn’t trade places with the worthless POS.
(but not an early riser as I am a late nite owl...wink~wink.)
Anyone remember the old line from the left, “George Bush was a guy born on third base who thought he’d hit a triple?”
He said he “shoots blanks.” Bragged about it actually.
Hey! Did you forget?
Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.
A preponderance of crime and wrongdoing: It runs it the family, I suppose.
“I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
You were talkin’ so brave and so sweet
Givin’ me head on the unmade bed
While the limousines wait in the street”

Then again,
Some will call her “Natasha when she looks like Elsie”
“I don’t want to go to Chelsea”
