Children's campaigns
Mitt's son Tagg Romney tells the Washington Post in a profile of Chelsea Clinton that candidates' children have to take their lumps if they go on the campaign trail. Says the 37-year-old Romney (one of five brothers who helped on dad's campaign):I don't know if it's fair to go deep into candidates' children's personal lives, because I'm not sure that really affects the way the candidate makes decisions. But if you're willing to put yourself out there, then you need to be able to answer questions.
Chelsea has had to field questions about Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewisnsky and MSNBC's David Shuster said she is being "pimped out" by the campaign
The latest question Chelsea has had to answer: Would her mother make a better president than her father.
I don't take anything for granted, but hopefully with Pennsylvania's help she will be our next president. And yes, I do think she'll be a better president.
Tagg Romney remembers political advisors warning the brothers:
Meanwhile, Mitt is taking his profile to a new high today by filling in for ailing 89-year-old heartland radio host Paul Harvey.If your dad is going to run, you're the collateral damage.

Chelsea is not answering questions for one or a couple of reasons:
1. The Clintons don't have faith in her ability to answer the questions in a way that is pleasing to Mom and Dad
2. She has plans to runf or office, and doesn't want anything she says now to be brought back to haunt her.
3. She really doesn't want to say anything becuase she kind of resents having to do this.
Am I wrong here?
