How Chelsea's pregnancy could affect Hillary's presidential bid

Chelsea Clinton's pregnancy announcement has triggered a wave of assumptions and speculations among political analysts, who believe that the news could prove to be a game changer for Hillary Clinton.

According to The Washington Times, within hours of the revelation, pundits, columnists and reporters pontificated on what being a grandmother will mean for Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign, should she decide to run for president in 2016.

While some believe that the pregnancy would "change the dynamic" in the much awaited presidential elections, the others think that the reactions and opinions pouring in amid news of Hillary becoming a 'would-be' grandmother is more of sexist.

Ann Bookman, director of the Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy at the University of Massachusetts Boston said that it's because people cannot seem to get used to the idea of a woman running for president and they really have a double standard about different things.

Ann added that if a man who had the kind of qualifications and credentials Hillary does all the sudden announces he's going to be a grandfather nobody would say it's a game changer.

Meanwhile, speaking at a Clinton Foundation event in New York, after the news of her daughter's pregnancy broke out, Hillary said that welcoming a grandchild reaffirms the need to address pressing challenges in America today and leave future generations better off, the report added.
