Indianapolis: Chelsea Clinton is spending long days on the campaign trail telling college crowds about her mother's positions on everything from healthcare and student-loan costs to the Darfur crisis and gay rights.
But there is one subject she will not discuss - "The Other Woman."
At least three times in the past two weeks, the former and possible future first daughter has been asked about the Monica Lewinsky scandal's influence on the presidential campaign of her mother Hillary Clinton. The answer has evolved each time.
When a student at Butler University in Indianapolis first asked the question on March 25, she drew applause and gave a short response that ended with: "I do not think that is any of your business." Clinton, 28, since has been less blunt, the the reply has been much the same. "I think that is something that is personal to my family, I'm sure there are things that are personal to your family that you don't think are anyone else's business, either," she said during a visit to North Carolina State University in Raleigh. "But also on a larger point, I don't think you should vote for or against my mother because of my father."
Many in the crowd at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, booed on Monday when a question about the impeachment proceedings against President Bill Clinton came up. "If that's what you want to vote on, that's what you should vote on. But I think there are other people [who are] going to vote on things like health care and economics," she said.
