Shrillary: "I Hear Dead People"
Hillary Clinton has been crawling through the Lone Star State on all fours, begging Texans to vote for her, because if she loses to Obama there, her campaign is finished. ABC News reports from the campaign trail:
Speaking about her work in South Texas as an organizer for George McGovern’s 1972 presidential campaign, Clinton said two strong Texas women inspired her — Congresswoman Barbara Jordan and Texas Governor Ann Richards.
Clinton said they taught her about courage and determination. Then she suggested that she is hearing from them even as her campaign struggles to compete after a string of losses.
"I can hear their voices saying, 'You keep going! You give the people a real choice about the future!'" she said at a campaign event.
Jordan was the first black woman elected to the Texas state legislature and served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1973-79. She died in 1996. Richards, a larger-than-life Governor, passed away in 2006.
Hot Air comments on the "larger than life" Richards:
She was a one-termer who only won in 1990 because her GOP rival Clayton Williams made a very awful joke in front of a group of reporters. And she still only won that election narrowly. […] I met her once and on that day, at a family campaign event for then state Senator Ted Lyon in East Texas, Ann Richards was drunker than life. But larger than life, Ma Richards was not.
Maybe Shrillary should limit her paranormal chats to Eleanor Roosevelt.
On a tip from Burning Hot.

Losing Clinton in the race will be a bad blow to the Republicans. She was there only hope of winning

I thought a lot of (admittedly leftist) Barbara Jordan, but "Ma" Richards - blech!

Mental stability is very important for one who wishes to be President. Auditory hallucinations are not a good sign.

I don't know about hearing dead people, but her staff trashed a warehouse and stiffed a landlord:

Hillary IS "dead people". Stands to reason she communicates with them.
And A.Richards was a moonbat AND dingbat - that's why they renamed the Congress Street Bridge in Austin for her... Remember that bridge harbors the largest urban bat colony in the world.

I'm sure that Richards inspires Clinton; she abolished the State Guard!
