Shit! It's 8:00 and we're totally late for Democratic Primary Day! We went to bed all early last night, cozied up with our copy of the NYC Voter Assistance Commission's bible, just so we could be up and at the polls at 6 a.m. Alas, our excitement kept us from drifting asleep at a decent hour, and so we're only now awake and polishing our wingtips for today's big trip to Democracyville. But we shall not be deterred! So, like any good little citizen would, we skimmed our paper of record for some last minute information before we went to cast our vote in this important decision to determine who will be involved in November's important decision. And what did we learn?

• Mayoral candidate Gifford Miller is really A. Gifford Miller
• Mayoral candidate C. Virginia Fields is really G. Virginia Fields

Has this entire campaign been built on a lie? While we can understand Giff dropping the A. (not that unusual, really), Fields' decision baffles us. Wouldn't Fields want to be considered an Original G? That's the sort of campaign cred Photoshop simply can't buy.
