Chelsea Hits Road on Mom's Behalf

Chelsea Clinton has put aside her quiet life as a Manhattan hedge-fund executive to hit the campaign trail solo in California and Nevada, hoping to bring her mother's message to young voters—the crucial demographic currently enamored of Barack Obama. Chelsea, 27, is pressing the flesh everywhere from sororities to farmer's markets, the LA Times reports.

Chelsea works a room as naturally as one might expect. Gushes one observer (OK, he's her dad): "She has a wonderful wholeness about her." For those who might favor Obama, she quietly says, "I find my mom very inspiring." But although "my mom is the best person I know," Chelsea isn't looking to  relocate to the White House: "Would you want to move home at 27?" she quipped. (More Chelsea Clinton stories.)
