Crowd cheers Chelsea Clinton's political debut
By LETITIA STEIN
Published October 31, 2004

TAMPA - There was no mistaking the glowing face among the five Democratic daughters, all dressed in skirts and stiletto heels. There was her father's easy smile. Her mother's confident posture.

Chelsea Clinton has needed few introductions since moving into the White House as a shy adolescent nearly 12 years ago. Except an important one.

"This is my first political speech," the 24-year-old said Saturday, making her political debut at a park tucked off Bayshore Boulevard. "I have a couple of experts in the family, and I hope to do them proud."

A small crowd was surprised to hear from the only child of former President Clinton and Hillary Clinton, now the junior senator from New York. Originally, actor Ben Affleck was expected at the Women for Kerry rally planned on 24-hours notice, Hillsborough Democratic Party chairwoman Janee Murphy said.

Late Friday, word came down that Chelsea Clinton and Caroline Kennedy would join Vanessa Kerry, Cate Edwards and Karenna Gore Schiff to rally early voters on Bayshore Boulevard.

3. Jesus! What a collection of genes!
"Late Friday, word came down that Chelsea Clinton and Caroline Kennedy would join Vanessa Kerry, Cate Edwards and Karenna Gore Schiff to rally early voters on Bayshore Boulevard."

Contrast this collection to Jenna and NotJenna.

4. Oh, we have the momentum all right!
From the horrible news cycle of the last week to the personal pleas from rock stars and Democratic daughters and even the founder of Lands End. We have the excitement, the momentum and the drive. We have caught the wind and all we have to do is harness it to get every democrat to the polls on Tuesday.

7. Beautiful!! Powerful young women...and Chelsea has a sense of humor
But the thrill of her debut lingered during an afternoon rally in Kissimmee.

"This is only my second political speech," Clinton began. No doubt it won't be her last.

I can see her giggling at this opening line..Bill and Hillary must love and adore this child of theirs more than anything on earth.
