Hillary 2016? What about Chelsea 2032? The media is chattering about former President

Clinton’s daughter Chelsea and wife Hillary Monday — and the possibility of presidency

for both. For now, Chelsea’s predictably backing Mom either way — and sounding pretty

political in the process.

“As a daughter, I very much want her to make the right choice for herself. I know

that will be the right choice for our country and i'll support her in whatever she chooses

to do.” 
Arianna Huffington didn’t do much dancing

around the topic on the Sunday shows, saying Hillary is “obviously running.” In an

op-ed, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd says it’s a “silly question.”

“Of course Hillary is running. I’ve never met a man who was told he could be president

who didn’t want to be president. So naturally, a woman who’s told she can be the first

commandress in chief wants to be.”

Ready or not, the money appears to be in motion. A writer for Mother Jones asks if the super

PAC, Ready for Hillary,” is “a legit group or a love letter from adoring fans.” With

backing from both Harold Ickes and James Carville, it “ ... appears to be the real thing.”

The Hill conducted a poll over the weekend that found a majority of voters — 51 percent

to be exact — believe Hillary is running for president in 2016. And 41 percent think

she’ll win the Democratic nomination.  
The Washington Post’s Ed Rogers says

it’s way too early to talk about 2016 — but even he couldn’t resist. His column calls

Hillary’s presentation skills, “just okay ... Not good and not even close to great.”

“One problem Hillary won’t have — although Republicans wish otherwise — is the legacy

of Bill Clinton ... the words ‘President Clinton’ are associated with good times.”

And those times could continue to roll right on into another generation — as daughter

Chelsea describes a situation that might vault her into the family business.

Chelsea said she strongly supports her elected officials right now — but “if at some

point that weren’t true and I thought I could make a meaningful and measurably greater

impact, you know, I’d have to ask and answer that question.”

A writer for the Inquisitr notes, “She’s already off to a good start, what with all

that not giving a definitive answer stuff.” 
But it’s not the first time Chelsea allegedly

dropped a hint about getting into politics. She also mentioned it in an interview with

Vogue in August. Sound familiar?

" ... if there were to be a point where it was something I felt called to do and I didn't

think there was someone who was sufficiently committed to building a healthier, more just,

more equitable, more productive world? Then that would be a question I'd have to ask and

answer." Hillary Clinton has not announced if she is

considering a 2016 run.
