Oh, you remember the Ashcroft/Carnahan election too?
Exactly, the first corpse elected to the U.S. Senate. [Although some of those crusty pols in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body -- now there's a laugh -- look like they already have been embalmed.]
When my small, semi-rural town incorporated in 1980, a slow-growth slate of candidates for city council were elected, including one fellow who had died three weeks earlier.
Seems electing dead people is not a new idea, so why not Hillary? She looks like she's almost there, anyway.
