Chelsea stumps for mom in Worcester [View All]

[William769]

WORCESTER— She has her father’s policy wonkishness without his propensity for long-windedness. And she is as articulate and compelling an advocate for her mother as any parent could hope for.

Chelsea V. Clinton, the only child of New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the leading Democratic candidate for president, and Bill Clinton, the ex-president who wants to be first husband, showed up on short notice yesterday at Clark University during a stump stop for her mother.

It was, in effect, the kickoff for Hillary Clinton’s pre-“Super Tuesday” campaign in the Massachusetts primary, which will be held Feb. 5 along with presidential primaries and caucuses in 23 other states.

“I’ve never believed more in anyone. I have no more respect, love and pride for anyone,” Chelsea said of her mother, speaking to about 500 Clark students and others who packed the school’s Tilton Hall yesterday for the impromptu campaign event. “I believe in everything my mother is today and everything she will do for me as a young woman, an American and a New Yorker.”
