Endorsements and Superstitions

When Nixon was nominated in 1968, my father said, "Those idiot Republicans, there is no way we can lose now".

My dad still has a few hundred sheets of McGovern stationary in the house.

I supported Howard Dean, and went to the meetups, and worked on a campaign for state house where the candidate finished 6th.

While I do have a preference on who gets the Democratic nomination, I have this feeling that my explicitly endorsing a candidate would jinx that individual.

So, for right now, I'm being held hostage to these superstitions, and I am quite well aware that this is stupid.
