Fiat Lux
It's Latin for 'Let there be Light'

In November of 2004, I donned a black zip-up hoodie and walked out into a grey, foggy San Francisco morning to go vote. I was scared, angry, and stressed out. We all know what happened.
Today, I’m wearing purple and the sun is shining after a week of rain. I’ll be leaving to go vote as soon as I finish this post.
I fear hope — it has let me down bitterly in the past — but right now, I’m cautiously hopeful about the outcome of today. Tonight, I could be looking at this post and wishing I’d never written it, but right now, I’m going to indulge in the luxury of hope for a better, brighter future. And now I’m going to go do something about it.
Get out there and vote today if you live in a primary state!

Well, ABC reports that the Huckleberry has won WV.
Already? I thought they were not supposed to report that sort of thing until the polls closed.
It was a convention/caucus and it is over. Nobody had 50% and on the second vote all the McCain supporters switched to Huckleberry.
