But, suppose it came out, even as only a rumor, that W was talking about any number of issues after conversations with Barbara and Jenna. Just imagine the reaction...in fact, remember the reaction when it was revealed that Nancy Reagan allegedly consulted with fortune-tellers? And yet, Jimmuh brings up nukes after conversations with his pre-teen daughter, and somehow he is taken seriously, just like Hillary was taken seriously after saying she had talked to Eleanor Roosevelt's spirit?
It wouldn't work for a Republican. They are expected to be serious.
