WASHINGTON - Hillary Clinton wants to be a grandmother.
At least that’s what her daughter says, and the 60-year-old Democratic presidential candidate isn’t disagreeing.
Chelsea Clinton introduced her mother at a fundraising event in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday by saying the New York senator would be the best president for coming 
generations — including, potentially, the 28-year-old’s own future children.
“I believe that my mother is the most progressive and the strongest and the most prepared candidate to be the president that I think we all need,” the former first daughter said.
She urged the audience to campaign for her mother “so that we can have the president that we need not only for us and our generation but for your children and the grandchildren that I know my mother wants to have.”
Grandchildren? Hillary Clinton, who was listening intently to her daughter speak, beamed and nodded when she heard those words.
Chelsea probably doesn’t have a whole lot of time to be thinking about starting a family, though. The Stanford University graduate said she had visited more than 30 states and some 85 schools while campaigning for her mother.

Parents should want the best for their offspring. The Clinton’s are nothing but selfish.
- Posted by MyronClinton is seriously damaging the democratic party.
- Posted by Beres Saintshe must understand to give up and really stop all her desperate tactics.Americans eyes are opened and we know the truth now.
DON’T BE DUPED !!!
Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses from early on. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And because they feel that a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket would be unbeatable. And also because with a Clinton and Obama ticket you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very soon.
But first, all of you have to make certain that Hillary Clinton takes the democratic nomination and then the Whitehouse. NOW! is the time. THIS! is the moment you have all been working, and waiting for. You can do this America. “Carpe diem” (harvest the day).
I think Hillary Clinton see’s a beautiful world of plenty for all. She is a woman, and a mother. And it’s time America. Do this for your-selves, and your children’s future. You will have to work together on this and be aggressive, relentless, and creative. Americans face an even worse catastrophe ahead than the one you are living through now.
You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don’t want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care that you have already paid for. So they can continue to make more immoral profits for them-selves.
Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama’s. She also leads in the electoral college numbers that you must win to become President in the November national election. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!
As much as 30% of Obama’s primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help.
Hillary Clinton has been out manned, out gunned, and out spent 2 and 3 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton.
If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is. YOUNG PEOPLE. DON’T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose.
The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. I suggest a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket. Everyone needs to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton NOW! So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.
I think Barack Obama has a once in a life time chance to make the ultimate historic gesture for unity, and change in America by accepting Hillary Clinton’s offer as running mate. Such an act now would for ever seal Barack Obama’s place at the top of the list of Americas all time great leaders, and unifiers for all of history.
The democratic party, and the super-delegates have a decision to make. Are the democrats, and the democratic party going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee to fight for the American people. Or are the republicans going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee through vote fraud, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC party primaries, and caucuses.
Fortunately the Clinton’s have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic comebacks of Hillary Clinton’s. Only the Clinton’s are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen.
“This is not a game” (Hillary Clinton)

- Posted by jacksmithDavid lier. War in Yugoslavia started before Clinton. Great diplomacy, international alliances and wise use of military without American losses under Clinton’s leadership resultated in ever lasting piece in Balkans and the end of Miloshevich. I call that success. Hillary’s visit to Bosnia at that time, when we felt noone cared, meant much to us from that part of the world. Thanks Hillary.
- Posted by MilaEnough negative comments! As far as I am concerned it’s Go Hilary! I believe she is the most prepared to become our 44th president! As for Chelsea, I think she is wonderful to campaign for her mother. When was the last time we saw a daughter campaigning for her mother to become a president? Hilary and Chelsea I am so proud of you! I wish Hilary wins so much!
- Posted by GigiGo Hilary go!!
Speaker Nancy Pelosi has tried (and now some are waging political war on her), Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, has suggested it (but “BILLARY” Clinton is NOT hearing it) and NOW someone — ANYONE — needs to whisper in Clinton’s ear — like you would with a SENILE Aunt — that the gig is up and Obama is the Democratic nominee!

- Posted by KYJurisDoctorDear Mrs. Clinton,
I hate to be the one to break this to you since Mark Penn and Harold Ickes keeps lying to you…but you are not going to win. You see…you had the Big MO in 2007. By 2008 most people began to see you for what you are and that is self-serving. Sending Bubba out to SC to give a call to all the Dixiecrats was bad. America really has progressed since 1972. Then you misspeak…alot. Then you tear apart the party you claim to love. You alienate the young, the educated, the minority, and most men. You have people hating other people because of whom they support rather than what they support. Do you not see this as a problem? If you are going to stay, can you show us how you intend on reuniting the party or is that not important to you? You really are a brilliant politician. You just seem heartless and shrill. I am sorry if this hurts. I am not trying to hurt you…just show you reality that your surrogates (the constant delusion salesmen) will not.
- Posted by Disenchanted by HypeThe Clintons are destroying this Great Party with their lies. Bill ‘mis-speak’ when trying to redefine ’sexual relation’ few years back and now Hillary ‘mis-speak’ on what was a very plain matter. Chelsea will soon tell hers……why do they continue with this ‘mis-speak’ thing?
To mis-speak is to delibrately decieve people; George W. Bush’s former Defence Secretary.
I think Bill is doing more harm to the Democratic Party by doing follow follow.

- Posted by beverly lukehartClinton should stop her campaign immediately if the democrats want to win against Macain. Her unwillingness to accept defeat is really hurting the democratic party and actually splitting up the support within the party. The damage being caused now might not be easy to repair come time for the general elections.
- Posted by jayboggieWe need to get organised as democrats and start to campaign for the white house and not focus on presidential nominations and attacks on each other. We are just giving the republicans more ammo to use against us when we do decide to campaign for the White House. The people have already chosen who they want as democratic president.
Don’t you think she looks tired?
- Posted by Sam SmithIt’s the lying that we don’t need more of (especially after Bush). First Bill, then Hillary, then Chelsea, then the unborn. I am convinced these people will do and say ANYTHING to get ahead. No wonder former Clinton cabinet members are working and voting for Obama. The reality is that there is no possible way for Hillary to win. All she is doing is hurting the entire party and the Rep.s are loving every minute of it.
- Posted by William W.Chelsea, in some ways I do agree with you that you have a strong mom in the regards of having the audacity to run for president. Yet she is weak in the sense of accepting the fact that she is not the best elect for the seat at present. Maybe if you would bear her some grandchildren to provide her with an outlet to direct her extra energy to and away from her current occupation it may prove to be more benefiting for her than her job at present. It’s apparent, that Hilliary have become exhausted in this position for she can’t seen to stay away from lies, which I hope that she don’t instill such a negative quality into her precious grandchildren. In all efforts Chelsea, please provide your children, your mom grandchildren a positive and open life reflecting true morals and values linking no distinction to race, creed or color in a negative aspect, that their future generation may be more focused and sound in the tommorrow in expose to those generations of the past. I extend my blessings to you and your mom in regards to your future off springs. Last, but not least, I have to conclude that Obama is my choice, for I am sure that he will pave a way for the best for all, including your child(children) in the coming years. Good luck and my blessings!
- Posted by Nisey01Osama, Hillbillary, the whole Democratic party is now nothing but a bad joke which continues to be promoted only by the news media & people with thier hand out for working poeoples tax dollars. They have a less than zero percent chance of winning against any other candidate. Even Mccain.
- Posted by Mike R.,, Anchorage, AlaskaChelsea,
I hate to say this but the headline is so pathetic. Is that the way she is putting you to beg for votes. I’m very sorry but at some point all of you need to stop the desperation tactics. You are a sad bunch.
- Posted by DKLADavid, small, pitiful little man that you are, please stop scrawling psychotic, pseudo-political verbal diarrhea on the internet. I think it’s time that you pack up your crumbled crayons and go home. Your Hillary hatred has overtaken your mind. Now, you’ve displayed for the whole world just how deranged your mind really is. Hillary is a rich woman running for president of the U.S. with multiple million-dollar plus homes and a seat in the U.S. senate, all of which she will still have after the race, even if she loses. And look at you, scrawling pathetic babble for all of the world to see.
- Posted by haviland smithThe above list should include the fact that Hillary is not qualified to hold the highest office in the land because she has no idea what the difference between justice and revenge is. Both her and her husband have supported hate crime legislation that is only necessary if the justice department is to administer vengeance on behalf of certain groups. Justice is already being served by the existing assault laws that punish those who engage in assaults against ANYONE. That includes protection under the law for all races, religions and sexual orientations.
Because most of the Muslims that have been radicalized have given reasons that they perceive the American foreign policy as being unjust, I am convinced that 9/11 has been caused both directly and indirectly by the foreign policies that were directed by an administration that did not know the meaning of the word justice. That administration was the Clinton one. Now, if you want another 9/11 equivalent, go ahead and place Hillary into office.
- Posted by Louis Kuheljwhile Hillary condemns Obama’s association with Rev. Wright, Hillary reached out many times to Rev Billy Graham, the same Rev. Graham who spouted loads of anti-semitic remarks over the years…
- Posted by JonathanRGrandchildren? With Bill Clinton as her husband, she may have several step-children…does that count?
- Posted by JonathanRNo matter how Hillary try to twist up the facts,
the truth is…
- Hillary lied about landing under sniper fire when she went to Bosnia. No “misspeak” until press broguht it out.
- Posted by David- Bill lied under oath during Monica case.
- Hillary Clinton is hiding hir tax return.
- Clinton and NATO were not interested in establishing peace in the balkans, resulting in Bosnian war.
- Bill and Hill invited Rev Wright to white house (if he is such a hate monger, then why invite him to white house?).
- Bill sent airforce and navy seals to Haiti and almost caused an all out civil war when Jimmy Carter was there getting a peace deal signed.
- Bill was more interested in attacking N. Korea instead of dialogue and peaceful resolution. He didn’t care to give Carter permission to travel to N Korea for talks.
