Chelsea was recently frustrated and disappointed with a former Clinton loyalist who deserted Hillary for Obama. Several Clinton people (Richardson, Reich, etc.) have made the switch. If Hillary should not win the nomination and isn't selected for the VP slot, I wonder if Chelsea might do like her mother in her younger years and switch parties? Okay, I guess not ... LOL

Has Bill Clinton helped or hurt his wife's candidacy? 4. As one strategist put it, if Clinton were just an extremely bright senator from New York whose husband had not been president, she probably wouldn't even be in the race -- and certainly would not have started out as the prohibitive front-runner. He helped with fundraising, with providing a political network and with giving his wife the experience of operating in the White House for eight years. "So in the largest sense, Bill Clinton has been of enormous help," the strategist wrote. But increasingly there are those in the party who say Hillary Clinton has been weakened by the performance of her husband. "We all may have underestimated the depth of 'Clinton fatigue' in American," wrote one Democrat, who added: "Every time he steps up to the plate to defend Senator Clinton, he weakens her." Some Republicans recognize the strength Bill Clinton has brought to his wife's campaign, but as strategist Mike Murphy put it, "He's yesterday in a change election and a distraction to her independent identity."
