Whoever wins the next election, I would think that Chelsea Clinton is a great bet right now, to be President one day.
Having one Parent make President gives you a huge chance, but having two would make it a dead cert.

And my money is on Hilary Clinton making it, at the moment. Not that I know much about US politics.
Of course, Jeb Bush has a father and brother as ex Presidents, so he has a huge chance too.

How the fuck did Obama ever make it?

Actually, I think that having old Dubya, on the one hand, and oral sex Bill on the other as relatives are probably both minuses in the eyes of the eyes of the American public...

With half of them for sure. But the other half see it as a massive plus.
So when it comes to the primaries, it gives you a big advantage.

The Hope campaign of 2008 struck a chord on college campuses around the world.. it was fairly irritating in fact - they went too far with it IMO. I mean Obama isn't Gandi.

Generation Y is a hugely powerful and motive demographic if you can strike the right chords.

No he isn't Gandhi, but he made a good enough impression of him that he got the Peace Nobel without ever having done a thing to deserve it, and his military politics make him undeserving of it, even if much of the factors directing it are inheritances from dubya...

Jeb was a damn good governor. Of course Jimmy Carter was a pretty good governor too, and look at him, a disaster of fucking epic proportions. However, Jeb's been around the Halls of Power for a looong time. He's certainly the best candidate on the GOP side, and I wouldn't vote for Billary or Bernie under any circumstances, so Jeb it is ( I hope).
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
