Not that I think this minor irrational quirk has any significance to his qualifications as a Presidential candidate, but it is amusing:
quote:
Moments after the debate, as he removed his wireless microphone from inside his suit jacket behind the stage at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, the Arizona senator noticed a shiny dime on the floor. He bent down for a closer look, then kept walking past the coin.
The dime was lying heads down, and picking up coins that are tails up is a no-no for McCain.
"Am I superstitious? I'm that," McCain said, walking with his wife, Cindy, and entourage to the candidates' reception. "But I don't think I'm alone there."

Well, to me, that's in the same crapola ballpark as Nancy Reagan checking with their astrologer if the stars are correct for certain Reagan presidential affairs. The woo-woo people we have/had in office.

If John McCain was the old "Falwell is an agent of intolerance" McCain, I'd ignore some dumb quirks like that.
Since he has sold out to the very people he once disliked so much( because they character assassinated him in 2000) I'll still overlook his dumb superstition, because it is irrelevant in the face of his current buddy status with the insane 25% of the country who believe jesus is comming back in 2007.
