Apparently John McCain is a highly superstitious person, and has multiple rituals he performs, and lucky items he has to have on his person at all times. These rituals are documented in a few newspaper articles (one of which is a conservative paper). Take a look at the Bad Astrology Blog, which has a post on this - with links to original sources.
McCain's Bizarre Beliefs
This part is kind of worrisome:
When McCain once misplaced his feather, there was momentary panic in the campaign, until his wife found it in one of his suits. When the compass went missing once, McCain assigned his political director to hunt it down.
What if this happened during a national crisis?
