The first hard evidence has emerged that Bill Clinton dreams of turning his family into a political dynasty along the lines of the Kennedys and the Bushes.
While he says he will throw his support behind his wife Hillary if she takes the job of Secretary of State, it appears that it is their daughter Chelsea who he really wants to take on his political heritage.
"She (Chelsea) is the best politician in our family," he said in an interview with the German celebrity magazine Bunte.
"Hillary and I are very proud of her because she never tried to take advantage of our position. I would think it was wonderful if Chelsea went into politics."
While it is the first time the former President has spoken publicly of political ambitions for his daughter, she is already being spoken of in Democrat circles as the next President Clinton.

Nope. Some are even suggesting Chelsea should be appointed to fill mom’s Senate seat when she becomes SOS.

They are probably lobbying for her to get appointed to the senate to replace Hillary, or prepping her for a Congressional run.

I dread the thought of this coming to pass. She is an only child of a couple who now have a net worth of about $30-50M. And between Bill's speaking engagements and Hillary's future book deals - it's only going to grow. So - if she ever desires to enter politics - she's going to have the money to do it.

“Some are even suggesting Chelsea should be appointed to fill moms Senate seat when she becomes SOS.”
She would be a shoe-in, since New York will vote for anyone with a D after his name.
Only hope would be if Rudy would run for Senator. (I’m hoping Rudy runs for NY Governor, though).

HUH? Tell me again how she got that high-paying job as soon as she graduated from college. Better yet, tell me how she graduated from college when she was seldom attending classes.

Chelsea doesn’t need to do much to outshine her mother as a politician.

Where is the picture of her drunk in the back of the car with her "Friend"? That would make a great campaign poster. "Vote for me. I'm just like my Daddy and Grandma!"

A few weeks ago there was absolutely nothing good to watch on TV. I turned to a Disney movie just to see. One of the first things I heard was that it was in the future and Chelsea Clinton was president.
I immediately turned to another channel.
