I don't know if I should post this in the election forum or not because it's just an off the wall question -- but do you think Hillary has been a good mother?

I think she has been. Everytime I see Chelsea, she seems like she is really a serious young woman. I give her mom a lot of credit for keeping her out of the limelight when Bill Clinton was president.

I especially appreciate the time during the first campaign when Hillary told the press that Chelsea was off-limits.

What do you think?

Umm.. who cares if she's a good mom? What does being a good mom have to do with running the country?

Well, it would show she has good judgment.

Would you want Britney Spears mom to run for President?

I have no reason whatsoever to believe she is not a loving, caring mother who gave her all to raising her daughter.

Has nothing to do with being a good president, though.

I'm a loving, caring father and husband. I'd make a lousy president.

Are the guys good fathers? I never hear them mention their kids except in passing... That's a good question!

I would think the Mormon guy is probably a good father. Most Mormon dads are.

It's hard to say whether she was a good mom or not. She was pretty busy doing so many other things, I doubt anyone could tell, I mean, you blink and you might miss a pretty profound mom moment.

Kidding...Chelsea seems to be well-grounded, but that perception could easily be due to her lack of media coverage. What we have seen of her is very little and very controlled. I wasn't impressed with her Q&A and the 9-year old, though. She needs to brush up on public speaking 101. Everyone's gotta start somewhere, I guess.

I have no idea how she is as a mom. I do respect her for telling the press that Chelsea was off limits though.

I can't add much to this, but Chelsea hates being in the public eye. I have seen her in public places on several occasions for not just a brief period. She will not talk to the press. That's her choice , and a wise one, I think.

Wait till she's old enough to run for office.

Then you won't be able to shut her up.
