DES MOINES—The Clinton campaign has come up with a counter-programming move to drag press attention away from the Obama/Oprah rallies in Iowa Saturday, by finally bringing on the stump Chelsea Clinton.
Just think…on a day when Obama has Oprah Winfrey helping him the all important undecided female voters, there will be three generations of Clinton women on a stage.
The debut of Chelsea, who works in New York, has been anticipated for a long time. She is appearing with her grandmother, Dorothy Rodham at three stops in Iowa. Former President Bill Clinton is in South Carolina.
Just think…on a day when Obama has Oprah Winfrey helping him the all important undecided female voters, there will be three generations of Clinton women on a stage.
Chelsea is not planning to speak. A campaign staffer, aware that this is Oprah day, said Chelsea is suddenly appearing because “She wanted to spend the day campaigning with her mother and grandmother.”
This from the Clinton campaign….
