BOSTON (AP) -- At the end, John Kerry looked for a little luck to carry him through.

Upon his return to Massachusetts after more than five weeks of nonstop campaigning, Kerry bent over and touched the ground. He ate his traditional election-day lunch of littleneck clams and a dark beer at his lucky restaurant, Boston's historic Union Oyster House.

He was loaded down with other charms - a four-leaf clover, an Ohio buckeye, Bruce Springsteen's guitar pick, his hat from Vietnam, a Bible from former Sen. Max Cleland, rosary beads, a cross and a medal of St. Christopher, the patron saint of travelers. He had been to church three times in the two days before the election.

After months of campaigning, the choice was out of his hands.

"and a dark beer at his lucky restaurant

And holding the bottle,can, glass ?-with his punky pinkie, snobbishly held at a 45 degree angle to the container from which he daintly sipped.

Wonder if he had his yellow farmers choice, lucky coat, on under his newly purchased,lucky Boston Red Sox sweat shirt?

Are you saying that you didn't vote for the Senator?

And Kerry doesn't have Nancy Reagan's excuse of almost losing her husband to an assassin's bullet. Kerry has kept the following secret, his medical history, his military history, his meetings with the Viet Cong, his meetings with Daniel Ortega.

If Kerry wins, expect news bombshells one after the other, because the media didn't do their job before the election.

Could Bush become the Grover Cleveland of the 21st century, two separate terms.

How can he be a commie symp and believe in God. Maybe thats how he had two kids w/his 1st wife and still managed to get it annulled. The church works in strange ways. And I'm Catholic too.
