Chelsea Wedding Proposal: Those 40 Goats and 20 Cows for Hillary and Bill Are Still on Offer
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyHillary Clinton promised a Kenyan man to pass along his ''very kind offer'' of 40 goats and 20 cows for her daughter Chelsea Clinton's hand in marriage. Godwin Kipkemoi Chepkurgor, a man of modest means, originally made the offer in a letter to Bill Clinton when all three Clintons traveled to Africa in 2000. He has not given up hope, telling CNN, "I've waited for a long time. I'm still waiting to meet her and express my love for her." ...
Chelsea Clinton for Hillary's Senate Seat?
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyUpdate: The Clinton press office has no comment at this time. However, in speaking with a source in Governor Paterson's office, I advanced Drudge's (and my) notion of a Chelsea Senate bid. It was the first they had heard of it. I let them know that that age requirement has more holes in it than a golf course. Now, you know how I hate to take for things, but if Chelsea does end up the junior senator from New York, well, I claim full credit. Reluctantly, of course.Drudge is floating the notion, linking to a November story about Bill's hopes for Chelsea, and adding this: [3 Senators that were ...
Hillary Clinton Calls Off Attacks on Caroline Kennedy
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyUpdate: A source close to Hillary Clinton pretty much confirms the Daily News News report, telling me that the specific Hillary supporters who had come out against Caroline were called and spoken to. He also said that Caroline's ability to raise money is working hugely in her favor, with New York area politicians eying the tough economy nervously. The New York Daily News' Ken Lovett, Ken Bazinet, and Michael Mcaulif report that Hillary Clinton is clearing the way for Caroline Kennedy to become her replacement in the US Senate, telling her supporters not to trash Caroline: (h/t Daily ...
Spokesman: Bill Clinton Will Not Take Hillary's Senate Seat
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyA spokesman for former President Bill Clinton is trying to put to rest speculation that Bubba will take Hillary Clinton's Senate seat once she is confirmed as Secretary of State. From TPM: (h/t Ben Smith) (spokesperson Matt) McKenna emailed over this: "It's completely false. President Clinton is excited to expand the work of his foundation which has more than 1,000 staff and volunteers in 44 countries advancing projects on HIV/AIDS, climate change, sustainable economic development, and childhood obesity." This is a good thing, I think. Bill Clinton going into the Senate would be like a retired ...
Hillary to Skip Palin Event; Should Send Chelsea
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailySenator Hillary Clinton's press office has announced that the former candidate for president has pulled out of a planned rally because organizers invited GOP Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin. From Fox: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has canceled an appearance at a New York rally next week after organizers blindsided her by inviting Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, aides to the senator said Tuesday. That would have set up a closely scrutinized and potentially explosive pairing in the midst of a presidential campaign, one in which the New York senator is ...
Chelsea Bumps Bubba to Intro Hillary at Conv.
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe Daily News is reporting that Hillary Clinton's keynote address, at the Democratic National Convention, will be introduced not by Bill Clinton, but by Chelsea Clinton. Hillary Clinton wants to be introduced by her daughter Chelsea at the Democratic National Convention, and party insiders say Barack Obama has signed off on the idea, the Daily News has learned...Democratic sources say it was Hillary's idea to have Chelsea do the honors. Here's where the story gets a little, hmmm, awkward? The Daily News quotes an unnamed official "close to both the Obama and Clinton camps" explaining how the ...
Clinton Campaign Coverage Was Sexiest
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe sexiest campaign coverage was reserved for Hillary Clinton's primary run, according to many political observers. This reporter, himself, has been referred to as "sexiest" innumerable times by readers on these forums, and while I did like the way my hair looked in that one picture from the Philadelplhia event, I think they're just flattering...wait, I'm getting something in my earpiece...how's that?...Sexist? From The New York Times: Angered by what they consider sexist news coverage of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, many women and erstwhile ...

Hillary Party Starting
By Dave - Politics DailyHillary's Postgame party is starting: WASHINGTON -- They've just turned up the music in the backyard of Hillary Clinton's Whitehaven home. We've seen familiar faces come through in the last 15 minutes, mostly the press advance. A handful of young staffers are also making their way into the Clintons' house for a staff party. Bill and Chelsea Clinton have joined Hillary, who we are told is dressed casually and already mingling with her guests. Bill will be heading out early, though, to speak at the City Year Convention in Boston tonight. And Chelsea also will depart a bit later to speak at a ...
Clinton Impeachment Off Table Too
By Jay Allbritton - Politics DailyDespite the varied assortment of topics considered so far in the 2008 Democratic primaries, the Clinton impeachment rarely gets brought up on the campaign trail. Other than a few attempts by journalists to get Chelsea Clinton's take on the matter, and passing references to it in regards to Bob Barr's run for President, because Barr helped lead the Clinton impeachment effort, it's as if the whole ordeal never occurred. Politico's Jeanne Cummings points out that during the long primary season both the Clinton campaign and the campaigns of her Democratic opponents completely embargoed the topic ...
