200. The Clinton campaign intially kept Chelsea out of the race

Then, on the day Oprah was to campaign for Obama in Iowa, they brought her to Iowa, but she just stood on the stage and did not speak at all. The story was, they wanted to protect her and didn't think she should be campaigning. Then, when they lost Iowa, she began appearing by herself at campaign events and speaking to crowds.

So: after Iowa, the Clinton campaign used Chelsea in a way they had considered inappropriate, because they needed her to win.
