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."

Finding her drunk in the back seat of a cab ain't gonna help much...
Fair game.
Didn't we all earn a 6-figure salary straight from a 4-year college degree?
i bet this thread gets ugly (pun intended)
She needs to invest in a chin!
I did.
So many people kept saying Chelsea must be a closet conservative and expressing sympathy for her stormy relationshio with her parents...am I the only person who's NOT surprised by this?
Don't use Chelsea Clinton and In Play in the same sentence.
I invoke The AntiRule.

The rats are really getting desperate...
Yikes. She's jockeying for position... under a street lamp.
No she's not.
At least, not until she smears Bush.
Then she's toast.
But if all she's doing is supporting Kerry without smearing Bush, then my opinion is that it would be a smart idea to just leave her alone. My opinion.
"Didn't we all earn a 6-figure salary straight from a 4-year college degree?"
"I did."
.... she majored in HISTORY. (I'm guessing you're an engineer or some kind of business person?)
Kerry should've offered his as a transplant. I wonder what he did with what they chisled out of his mug? I think I saw a circus worker scooping elephant crap with it.
Chelsea's in play huh?
That girl needs to climb right back up into that Ugly Tree that she fell out of.
Maybe he's an entry level attorney for the Edwards ambulance chasing squad.
Yep.
Remember, though, that the Bush twins are campaigning for the President's reelection. Rule of thumb: If you would be displeased to see a certain tactic used against Jenna and Barbara, don't use it against Chelsea.
