Talk of the Sound has learned that Chelsea Clinton may run for Congress next year.
Clinton has been approached by "the right people" in the New York Democratic Party, according to one source in Albany. While no decision has been made, Clinton is said to be "actively considering" a Congressional run from New York State in 2012.
Chelsea Clinton, 31, is the only child of former U.S. President Bill Clinton and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The discussions of running Chelsea Clinton for a house seat grew out of the redistricting plans currently underway in the New York State legislature in Albany.
The plan is to identify an open seat for Clinton in or around New York City where she currently resides with her husband, Marc Mezvinsky. While no specific district has been determined, New York City and Westchester are said to be the focus with New York's 18th District considered a strong possibility. The 18th encompasses much of Westchester County, just south of where her parents have maintained a home for the past 12 years.
Bill and Hillary Clinton have owned a home in New York's 19th Congressional District since 1999. The 19th is a swing district that went for Republican Nan Hayworth in 2010. The 18th District on the other hand is solidly Democratic. Barack Obama won the district in 2008 by 62% to 38%, John Kerry won in 2004 by 58% to 42%. Al Gore won the district 58% to 39%.
One senior Democrat, a former elected official in New York, told Talk of the Sound that Democrats involved in the discussions are excited, seeing Chelsea Clinton as an "automatic win" for the Democrats in 2012.

Well..you know...she tried to run for...you know... the senate. But...you know...she didn't...you know...do very well and...you know...she decided that maybe...you know...it wasn't really for her. So...you know...she dropped out.
OMG!
I just thought of something.
Pelousie has several grandbots doesn’t she?
Great.....like her Mom and Dad haven’t done enough damage.
Too late, where of you been?
The ruling class positions thier young for office. Another Kennedy dynasty nightmare!
OH Lord NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honest mistake in assuming he was dead since he was such a close friend of the Clinton’s. ;-)
When she graduated from college....at the age of 22...she had a six-digit salary (likely just at $100k). At the time...generally, a IT-graduate with a four-year degree could see a $50-$70k salary, depending on how much value he had with his recommendations from his professor. There were law school graduates who were pulling in around $100k if they were near the very top of their class....same for MBAs.
I’m guessing...in a metropolitan area like NY City or Boston....she could probably get elected. In a place like Florida or Ohio....she’d have zero chance.
Nooooooooooooooooooooo
The spawn of Clinton needs to stay home and take care of her neurotic husband
A Female Al Gore.
Al Gore inherited his job from his Daddy. Now Chelsea will do the same.
One thing remains a fact, Politics is easier than working for a living and it pays better.
I can understand why she was hired. She probably brought an enormous rolodex from her parents as well as being the daughter of a former president who, sadly, was “living” in New York and was very popular with the elites of Manhattan.
She just never seemed to work, though.
The klintoon klan needs to dry up and go away.
Just to state the obvious, she has never lived in that district.
Not that I want her to reproduce, but I don’t understand rich women who are able to stay home and raise babies but throw away the opportunity.
she barely qualifies as a potted plant... 
Actually, it is a great job for a misfit or criminal that couldn't find a job in the private sector.
