Even if it's all a bit silly? How's this for silly: I'm spooked that the writer of this article has a four-letter first name that starts with J, just like John, and a two-syllable last name, just like McCain. For that matter, the last time we had a president with a three-syllable last name was Kennedy. And Obama has three syllables. Coincidence?

I can understand many people being a little superstitious and expect that is quite common and probably not a big deal. But McCain is supposedly very, very superstitious. I have read it many times already in how he makes decisions about his campaign. He apparently readily admits it as well, and that can't be a good thing when it comes to being an effective leader. I can see how he could get by as a Senator where people's lives are not riding on his decisions, but Commander in Chief is a whole different situation altogether.

McCain is too old (at 71) to be superstitious, I agree with Farrell. I must also agree with Christian. Superstition and old age together makes a great target for Obama who is much younger and more stimulating to defeat, if they were to face off. Does wisdom come with age, or is a more intelligent and fresh mind perhaps a younger one?

McCain voted against a bill to say marriage is between one man and one woman.

Now McCain has this voodoo superstious stuff ????

He was declared mentally fit after imprisoment where he was tortured in the worst way,
'
Maybe he spent too much time alone.

He is determined to win big, in Republican party. Then he will be able to be beaten up in real election by OB! This old person has bad temper, as showing in 2000 election. Could an old man learn some new trick? of course, let our OB teach him later on! McCain is not superstitious. He is determined to win big, in Republican party.

And if he does, shouldn't he be worried about wishing harm on the USA by the "evil dooers" that W has extolled for the last 6 years?

If McCain gets the nomination I have a problem, will I vote for a liberal or at best a moderate who says he is a conservative, (that makes him dishonest) or will I vote for a democratic nomine who is honest and states where they really stand? I think I will hold my nose and vote for the honest democratic nomine (I might even vote for Hillary) who ever it is. Lets then hope that there are enough conservatives and “moral liberals” in the legislative branch to counteract them. I am a conservative republican.

McCain's views on the environment and scientific research show that he does evaluate new evidence and decide policy positions based on reason. At least he will tell us truths and opinions we don't want to hear. I'm not sure Romney is capable of as much candor. Fortunately, general election independents would ensure that we don't have to worry about President Romney. Not that McCain has much better chance against Obama, especially if the Coulter effect pans out.
