BOSTON (AFP) - John Kerry will have lunch at one of former president John F. Kennedy's favorite restaurants. The superstitious Democratic presidential candidate, who is clinging to his lucky charms, is hoping fate finds him a new home in the White House. After voting, the Massachusetts senator was due to head, as he does every election day, to the fabled Union Oyster House which calls itself the oldest in the United States. The quaint old spot was a favorite of another local, Kennedy, who had a regular table; John Forbes Kerry is hoping to follow in the other JFK's dining and presidential footsteps. Early Tuesday the restaurant crew was still working out whether Kerry would sit at what used to be Kennedy's table. The significance would not be lost on Kerry who, in the waning days of the tight presidential race, put increasingly heavy significance on symbolism. For days, he has not taken off his mustard-yellow barn (hunting) jacket, which he bought during a winning streak in last autumn's Democratic primaries, and he donned the same red tie in his televised debates against President George W. Bush, in which Kerry fared quite well. The historic World Series win by baseball's Boston Red Sox also has given him reason to believe in long-shot luck. Since then he has made one of his speechwriters, a fan of the rival New York Yankees, wear a Sox hat. Just Saturday Kerry said at a Wisconsin rally that he was optimistic about the presidential vote because of the solid showing by the local football team the Badgers. To top it all off Sunday's loss by the Washington's US football team, the Redskins, has helped fuel Kerry's enthusiasm; since 1936, 17 presidential votes, the Redskins' last home game before the election is said to decide the fate of the incumbent. And that is not the full extent of Kerry's superstition: he keeps his dog tags from Vietnam at close hand. He also carries a charm given him by an indigenous Navajo leader during a visit to New Mexico; as well as a chestnut from a buckeye, state tree of Ohio, a key swing state. "When a Native American chieftain hands me something and says if you carry this you're gonna be elected . . . Man, I carry that. I'm not taking any chances," Kerry told Knight Ridder newspapers. Of the prized chestnut, Kerry said: "It will be with me right on the Oval desk. "It'll sit there, a little glass cover on it, to preserve it -- for good luck for the country."
Well uhhh.... if youse really wants ta know.....
Hey Johnny, wish in one hand and crap in the other ...
Don't tell me Kerry is pretending to be Irish AGAIN! ;-)
Hanging onto his lucky charm.
heheheh.
Good One! I laughed so hard, I almost sprayed chili on my computer screen.
My thoughts exactly!
When religion departs, superstition enters the place it left empty....
Kerry has no moral compass, no belief and no faith. His entire being is guided by :ARROGANCE (with a good helping of INSECURITY).
I wish I would have had an opportunity to hand in a dried up LUCKY dog turd that he could always carry in his pocket.
Unbelieveable arrogance. No wonder his speeches are so bad.
Those 8 balls aren't electronic. You just turn them over like a snowball globe for the answer. When I was a little kid my friend had one. Everytime I used it, it told me to "try again later." I never did get an answer.

Wow, isn't that a tad politically incorrect? Next Kerry's going to say he rubs the heads of little black children for luck, too.
The superstitious Democratic presidential candidate, who is clinging to his lucky charms, is hoping fate finds him a new home in the White House.
And in regards to Bush:
The Christian Republican presidential candidate, who is clinging to his faith, is praying that God would keep him in the White House for four more years.
****CREEPY****
Put your faith in God, not superstitions!
Charms, abortion. What a Catholic!
I am surprised he didn't dine at Halftime Pizza in the North Station area of Boston. For those who don't recall, Halftime Pizza was the establishment that gained much attention because the owners had the pro-Bush sign during the DNC (while shutting down their business); the restaurant is within the shadow of the host site the FleetCenter. Any locals: Support Halftime Pizza!!!!
"When a Native American chieftain hands me something and says if you carry this you're gonna be elected . . . Man, I carry that. I'm not taking any chances," Kerry told Knight Ridder newspapers.
JFK - you may not want to believe everything you are told.
He is NOT acting.
