On June 3, the Working Families Party of New York cross-endorsed the Democrats running for U.S. Senator and Governor. For U.S. Senate, Jonathan Tasini, who is critical of U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton’s stance on the Iraq war, had hoped to get at least 25% of the vote, so that he could qualify automatically for the party’s primary ballot. However, he only got 6%.

I have been the token liberal in reactionary groups. I have been the token conservative in radical groups. I think that Hilary Clinton is the last person to talk about reform or anti occupation or getting out of the Gulf and getting off of our addiction to Oil and Empire.
They can recommend any one they want. Politics is imperfect and full of compromise(s). How ever, I am free to hold my nose as I read the announcemnet. (Ugh!)
Anyone know what steps Tasini would have to take to set up a challenge for the Working Famlies Party line. 25% would have gotten him automatic access but we don’t know what steps would be needed to get the line another way. Would he just have to collect petitions and how many would he have to tget?
