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
