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

No. Lenin's. His 100th was the first "Earth Day". What a coincidence!
I never heard anything about Mary Cheney smearing sKerry, yet she was called "fair game" just because she has been involved in the campaign.
(Not to disparage your having a higher standard, but in defense of those who consider the coyote ugly gates now flung wide open.)
Exactly! And look at the backlash the Kerry campaign suffered. Surely our side is not so stupid as to give the socialist "mainstream media" similar ammo to hit us back with.
Best to leave Chelsea alone at this point. I mean really.... who cares?
Yes, sad to see. Americans have given her all the privacy & respect she could desire. She could return the favor.
Lenin's is April 22, Adolph Hitler is April 20th.
"a person of 'grace and dignity'"
Too bad Ms. Caroline cannot qualify for that honor - having trashed and dishonored Laura Bush.
I demand you apoligize to that Cocker
Spaniel!
A 6-figure salary is now a lot???
According to Kerry it is and he wants you to pay more taxes.
The cocker spaniel is cuter. By far.
Both Chelsea and her father have learned how to straighten their hair since leaving the White House and getting rich.
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!
Gotta admit. If she's stumping for Kerry as a post-grad adult, the gloves are off.
Webster Hubbel: Human Carp.
I majored in history, too. But, yeah, 6 figures is shockingly high for a history grad.
Under Kerry's "plan", better not make $200K+!.
John Kerry can can climb a tree and stay there, but his girls have Chealsea beat in looks hands down.
What kind of guy looks at Elanor and says, "Damn. I gotta have that!"
Fair enough.
