Now for my part I'm talking about bad political ju-ju, in the sense that I've never worked on a winning campaign (except for handing out buttons for Foglietta in '80, and that wasn't strictly speaking a Democratic campaign for odd Philly corruption reasons that you probably don't want to know about if you don't remember it). It would have been ok, but I decided to lay out in '92 to break the hoodoo since clearly this Clinton fellow didn't have a chance, and he won! Ditto '96 and '00. (Well we won; not our fault we didn't get him inaugurated.) I'm just going to have to get over the idea that my participation in a national campaign can hoodoo the whole darn shootin' match.
However, the nation's on a losing streak, the Democrats are on a losing streak (or a getting robbed streak), a lot of us are on losing streaks, and I think it's time to burn some incense, shake the voodoo bones, blow up the Bartman ball, let the goat into the stadium, get back the rights to Babe Ruth or whatever it takes to break the negative energy and turn this whole thing around. Who's with me? Submit exorcism suggestions below.
