Our Parent, Our Ruler; I have sinned before thee.

For the sin of endorsing worthy candidates, who seemed to have been jinxed as a result.

For the sin of failing to endorse and write on behalf of candidates I should have, because it was the path of least resistance.

For the sin of listening to imbeciles about who the strongest prospects were in districts I knew too little about (yes, Steve Behar did end up runner-up to Paul Vallone in that he ran fourth to Vallone’s third).

For the sin of being a little too generous with the truth, and perhaps a little harsher than was necessary. 

Our Parent, Our Ruler, Here my prayer.
