Superstitious about the election?

Of course, growing a "lumberjack" beard doesn't hold a candle to Bill Clinton-adviser James Carville deciding not to change his underwear as election day neared in 1992.

Knocking on wood three times? No bubbly at the party? If you're worried about the result, what's your superstitious ritual that you think will help your man win?
