How about second-generation Gore and Clinton in office?

Karenna Gore Schiff

(CNN) -- Another Gore may throw her hat in the political ring, and it isn't Tipper. Karenna Gore Schiff, the daughter of former Vice President Al Gore, has hinted she may follow in her father's footsteps and run for office. If Karenna Gore Schiff can possibly do this, why not another daughter of a former elected official? Bob Novak and James Carville debate the potential candidates.

NOVAK: James, after the enervating, I think you know what that word means, experience of the year 2000, the last thing America needs is another Gore running for public office. Boredom, boredom, boredom.

CARVILLE: Let me tell you something. This is an outstanding young woman. I'm delighted to hear that she wants to be involved. She's a graduate of Harvard Law School. Her grandmother was the first female graduate of Vanderbilt Law School. Her grandfather was a United States senator. Her father was a United States senator and vice president.

She seems to me to be a very articulate, brilliant -- and I tell you what else. .... I hope that when Chelsea Clinton comes back from Oxford...

NOVAK: Oh, yes.

CARVILLE: ...that she decides to run for office, too! Just like her mother, an outstanding member of the United States Senate. It's a good thing, yes. They would be great public servants and it would drive you right up the wall, Bob! Right up the wall, yes, sir.

NOVAK: All those people know, James -- wait, a minute. All those people know, James, is how to get on the public payroll. Tipper was going to run for the Senate until she got cold feet.

CARVILLE: What are you talking about? This young lady -- you don't like the idea that this young lady is ambitious, and she's brilliant, and she wants to run for the Senate?

NOVAK: All right. Oh, stop.

CARVILLE: Run, Karenna, run!

NOVAK: Stop pandering.
