Really. Or that’s what Michael Calderone is saying over on his Politico blog.
On Thursday, seemingly out of nowhere, a new contender emerged for the 2016 race: Chelsea Clinton.
First, People magazine ran its “15 Questions with Bill Clinton,” where the former president was asked, “Do you think Chelsea will ever run for office?” Clinton replied: “I don’t know. If you asked me this before Iowa, I would have said, ‘No way. She is too allergic to anything we do.’ But she is really good at it.”
This is silly.
But knowing the political skills of the Clinton family, I really wouldn’t be surprised if Chelsea does eventually run for political office. Perhaps not the presidency (though that would be one sweet media narrative: daughter runs to honor mother’s first attempt, and then wins), but for a seat in Congress. I wouldn’t be surprised, however, if in 20 years we have another Clinton in the White House.
