Bring on Hillary ... Jonathan Tasini has apparently collected the signatures he needs to enter the Democrat primary against Hillary Rodham Clinton. On Friday, July 7th, his campaign announced that he plans to appear at the steps of the State Capital this week before delivering signed ballot-access petitions to the State Board of Elections. So now the question becomes this, will the Clinton camp or its allies in the Democratic Party move aggressively to keep him off the ballot by legally challenging the validity of the signatures. In anticipation of such a challenge, Mr Tasini and his supporters collected 30,000 signatures, even though he needed only 15,000 to get on the ballot.
