If I Were As Superstitious About Politics As I Am About Sports…
I would vote for John McCain.
Why? In every major statewide or national race I have ever voted in, the candidate I voted for ultimately lost. Among my choices: Al Gore, Bob Weygand, Andrew Cuomo, Carl McCall, Howard Dean, John Kerry, Peter Clavelle, Jonathan Tasini, John Spencer, and John Edwards.
There is one exception: Eliot Spitzer. And we all know how that turned out.
Luckily, I’m not that superstitious about politics. And I can’t in good conscience vote for McCain under any circumstances.

TROiSi says:Since New York is a complete lock, maybe you should vote for McCain just for superstitious SAFETY. Are you registered in NY, or still in RI?
Either way, probably doesn’t matter.
Everyone else, make sure you get everyone you know to vote on Nov. 4th!!!!!!
