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.

So? Allan West has never lived in his.
I’m not at all surprised. I predicted this several years ago on FR. I was actually expecting her to try for the Tony Weiner seat but perhaps the insiders figured it would be too competitive.
The Clintons see themselves as a political dynasty.
Did Hillary ever live in NY before running for the Senate? She was elected to the Senate before BJ’s term as POTUS was over.
They welcomed her with open arms though, didn’t they.
Not that I was aware of. On the other hand I don't think Bobby Kennedy had ever lived in New York before his election to the Senate either.
They welcomed her with open arms though, didn’t they.
They're funny that way.
That’s just what we need, another Web Hubbell look alike in politics.
Rockefeller, Kennedy, Bush, Clinton, Cuomo, Paul, Rohrabacher, Mack, and on, and on. On both sides of the aisle.
That would be a far better gene pool than Webbie, IMHO.
Her facial appearance certainly looks like Web tho.
Thanks bkopto.
How Brave

Chelsea Clinton announced yesterday that she is going to do her part in sending aid to the people of Haiti–by hosting a spin class in Manhattan.
Tell me this is an Onion article
I used to work across the street from the twin towers. The only time I ever saw anyone jogging around them they had just grabbed someone’s purse and the police were in hot pursuit.
But that’s just the kind of story the MSM laps up like sweet milk.
Like Algore’s mom singing “look for the union label” as a lullaby.
Or BJ Clinton’s “burning churches”
You could throw her in a mill pond and skim ugly off the top for a month. She’s so ugly she don’t need no bodyguard. If she landed in Dallas the whole state of Texas would be ugly in five minutes. She da cause of Global Uglyin’. She ugly enuff to make Cujo run hide under da porch an jest whimper. She as ugly as Joe Biden is stupid. She so ugly da site o’ her dun made me tawk lak a third grade dropout.
True democracy always did “suck”. I wish we had our Republic back.
Look at a picture of Vince Foster, he was a handsome man, then look at a picture of Webb Hubbell and make your best guess. I don’t think Foster could have sired something that looks like that but Hubbell certainly looks the part.
“I wonder what her father, Web Hubell has to say about this.”
Shrillary’s hit man might know.
“That’s Nita Lowey’s seat. Is she leaving willingly or will the Clinton’s strong arm a 74 year old woman?”
Before or after he rapes her?
The racists Democrats will probably kick some black person to the curb to clear the way for Chelsea and the race-baiting poverty pimps will stay silent.
