Instead, she chose to suck it up and come meet with us, 30 strangers who were already committed to voting for her mother in the primary race and hopefully in the general election in November.

Chelsea is quiet, non assuming and gentle in her approach to speaking to a crowd.  She is articulate and genuine when she speaks of her mother’s accomplishments.  She speaks without notes.  She offers detailed examples of how her mother demonstrates her commitment to women and children.  She fields questions and offers explicit answers which clearly define her mother’s mission.  I am so damn impressed with her. Hillary should be, too.
