Tasini has enough Signatures to be on Primary Ballot?!! GET OUT AND VOTE!
I'm not sure if this is 100% accurate, but it's on Tasini's website:

Jonathan Tasini has apparently collected the signatures he needs to enter the Democratic primary against Hillary Rodham Clinton. This afternoon, his campaign announced that he plans to appear at the steps of the State Capitol next 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.

Primaries have EXTREMELY low turnouts. In Virginia the Democratic primary only had 3% turnout of voters. If all the antiwar, progressive new yorkers show up and VOTE at the primary -- well, we can topple Hillary in an instant.
