Political Radar: Madame President Clinton? Chelesa Clinton That IsGood lord. Why don't we just establish a formal, hereditary aristocracy of politcal families?ABC News' Ed O'Keefe Reports: Perhaps there will be a Madame President Clinton after all. No, not Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y. How about former first daughter and active campaigner Chelsea Clinton?
"If you asked me (if Chelsea would run for office) before Iowa, I would have said, 'No way. She is too allergic to anything we do.' But she is really good at it," former President Bill Clinton tells PEOPLE magazine in their latest issue, hitting newsstands Friday.

Does this surprise you? I expected it from the start. It's a family business thing. When there were those commenting about "pimping" Chelsea out, I figured it was just Politics 101. She's smart enough - we'll see.

Have to have that nobility of lineage in the Soviet Socialist Republic of Massachusettes.

Suek -
Surprise me? No.
Sadden me? Yes.
Instead of fresh ideas, we'd get her parents' warmed-over idealism. Or, heaven forbid they should live long enough - poor Chelsea acting as a sock puppet for mummy and daddy.

Ajacksonian -
Sigh. Will the Kennedy clan ever run out of fresh meat for the political grinder?

John -
I don't know. I think he's had enough - he certainly hasn't tried to shove himself into the race this time through.
Of course, in 4 years that may well change.
