KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton, shielded from the public during her years in the White House, delivered her first political speeches Saturday as she campaigned for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry.
The only child of former President Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., said she was "a little nervous" about making her first speech in Tampa. That was followed by appearances in the Orlando area and suburban Fort Lauderdale.
"I'm not quite an old pro but thankfully, I come from a family of old pros, and hopefully I'll do them proud," Clinton said.
Clinton has rarely spoken in public, even after leaving Washington.
Weeks short of her 13th birthday when her father was first inaugurated in 1993, her parents took great pains to guard her privacy. Only in 2000 did Clinton take her first steps into the spotlight, accompanying the her father at events while her mother campaigned for Senate.

Caroline Kennedy said Clinton was a person of "grace and dignity."
"If you think her parents are smart, you should talk to her."

The only thing that did save us from those awful years of the 90s was the strength of our system.
We're so fortunate that the Founders of this country were so wise.
These leftists keep chipping away at the structure that holds us together though, and I just hope it's many years away that the structure is no longer able to hold.
Let's hope that if sKerry manages to get enough vote fraud to get him over the top, that we survive this next assault on our country. (I think he can only win with massive fraud.)
"Winston you're drunk!"
Churchill:
"Yes I am drunk but in the morning you'll still be ugly!"
Has Kerry had his chin and nose "refined" since the Vietnam days? Sure looks like it.
Cool! She's in the game now!
We really can't call her 'fair' game, though, can we.
It is drastic, isn't it. Maybe she'll be appearing on the next episode of 'Extreme Makeover'.
I understand he's had his horse chin chopped on twice.
