The angst is killing me! I want to donate to Kucinich, but I can't. Why?
Because every single political candidate I have ever donated so much as a dime to has lost in a landslide. I am a rational modern woman, but dammit I cannot shake the superstition. How absurd is that? Seriously. No one has won. Not even a close race. I donate and the person gets slammed. It hurts. So does this mean I donate to everyone else?

2. He's not going to lose because of your donation.
He's going to lose because he's less popular than other candidates.

I hope that's a weight off your mind.

5. That's it. A donation by itself, and the donor, make no difference. NT

3. Why don't you just donate to the candidate you dislike the most?

6. Politics does not have to be painful and who said you had to remain faithful?
If the hex is on donations, then make calls for DK ... nothing got me through the Iran Contra years like hours at a phone bank. These days, you can do these things from home.

7. DK doesn't have a snowball's chance
It isn't about superstition, it is a overview from 30,000 feet.

If you truly believe it though, toss HRC a few bucks. :P
