Chelsea Clinton, who as the daughter of a serving president was shielded from media attention, gave her first political speeches at the weekend as the Democrats unveiled a last-minute campaign tactic - an appearance in Florida by the daughters of five past or would-be future presidents and vice-presidents.

"To be honest, I couldn't imagine being anywhere else today," Ms Clinton, 24, said in Osceola County, where she appeared at a rally with Caroline Kennedy, Karenna Gore Schiff, Cate Edwards and Vanessa Kerry.

"I couldn't imagine not being in Florida because the stakes are too high and the choice is too clear."

Admitting in advance to being "a little nervous", she kept her speech short and focused on the economic benefits of her father's presidency and a potential John Kerry administration.
