      How About President Chelsea?

      (Newser) - Bill Clinton hasn't given up hope of a Clinton woman getting into the White House—but it may be his daughter rather than his wife, ABC reports.

Clinton calls his daughter's emergence the second-best thing of the campaign, after his wife's amazing endurance. More »

McCain reportedly said he “doesn’t really understand economics” in January. Has he boned up since then? Islam. The candidate doesn’t seem to understand the difference between Sunni and Shia, and has said he’d tell the sects to “stop the bullshit.” More »

      Chelsea Swings Through Philly's Gay Clubs

      (Newser) - Chelsea Clinton met with wild and drunken support on her “gay pub crawl” through Philadelphia last night, the Patriot-News reports. “Chelsea, the gays love you!” cried one supporter. “We love your highlights,” shouted another. “Thank you, but that’s not why you should vote for my mom,” said Chelsea. “I grabbed her ass!” one woman shouted.

      Chelsea Faces Campaign's Rough Side

      (Newser) - Until recently, the campaign trail has been a generally hospitable place for Chelsea Clinton.

But as the race heats up, the questions are becoming more pointed, as is the scrutiny, the Los Angeles Times reports. Some of the stories Clinton tells on the campaign trail strain credulity. More »

      Chelsea Thesis May Clarify Hillary's Role in Irish Peace

      (Newser) - While Hillary Clinton stands accused of exaggerating her part in the 1998 Irish peace process, the answer might lie in an unlikely 150-page document—Chelsea Clinton's senior thesis from Stanford. Only problem? No one seems to know where it's gone, Newsweek reports, and a Clinton spokesman warns it was "written to satisfy an academic requirement—not media curiosity." More »

      Chelsea Shows Best of Both Clintons

      (Newser) - Chelsea Clinton has come into her own on the campaign trail, “self-assured, soothing … at once affable and urbane,” even “the ideal amalgam of her parents’ political talents,” glows Lloyd Grove in a New York profile. Bill and Hillary have adroitly managed their daughter's public persona, obsessively keeping the press away from her—even making comedians sorry for Chelsea jokes—but she is now orchestrating her own political coming-out, Grove says.
