Washington, Nov 21 : Former US president Bill Clinton has dropped enough hints that he and wife Hillary were planning to launch, sooner or later, their daughter Chelsea into politics.

He said she was the best politician in their family, and that she never took advantage of the family’s influence in politics.

“She (Chelsea) is the best politician in our family. Hillary and I are very proud of her because she never tried to take advantage of our position. I would think it was wonderful if Chelsea went into politics,” timesonline. com quoted him as saying in an interview with the German magazine “Bunte”.

Earlier this year, Dad Clinton had told the Los Angeles Times: “She has a wonderful wholeness about her. I have to hold myself back so I don’t sound like a babbling idiot. I’m just so proud of her. She’s turned out to be a wonderful human being.”

While it is the first time the former President has spoken publicly of political ambitions for his daughter, she is already being spoken of in Democrat circles as the next President Clinton.

Chelsea (28) had drawn enough praise while campaigning for her mother for the Democratic nomination for the presidency. She was widely admired for her poise, eloquence and elegance, said the report.

After she appeared at a student college in South Carolina to campaign for her mother, one student blogger described her as: "Intelligent, nice voice, sexy. She’s really blossomed into a hot woman.”

But, Chelsea would not be eligible to run for the White House for another seven years, when she turns 35. (ANI)
