The youngest member of the Democrats’ last First Family turns 28 today, and Donkey Dish would like to wish Chelsea Clinton a happy birthday!

The former - and possibly future - First Daughter has certainly come a long way since the early ’90s, when she spent every human’s most dreadful years - early teenage-hood - in the grandeur of the White House.

Two college degrees and several high-powered jobs later, Chelsea Clinton has become an exceptional young woman - and in the 2008 campaign, a prominent fixture in her mother’s bid for the White House.

Chelsea Clinton watches her mother, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, at her debate in Cleveland with Illinois Sen. Barack Obama last night.

For a closer look at the only child of Bill and Hillary, check out our bio of her as well as our gallery of past and present Chelsea Clinton photos.

[NOTE: In other political birthday news, but which many Democrats would rather ignore, third-party mainstay Ralph Nader turns 74 today]
