CLINTON CHALLENGER SAYS HE WILL FORCE A DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY

NY Sun

A senatorial candidate, Jonathan Tasini, said that he plans to file enough petitions this Thursday to have a Democratic primary against Senator Clinton, who is seeking re-election. "I need to collect 15,000," Mr. Tasini said. "I'll probably have north of 30,000, maybe 40,000." Mr.Tasini said he is not seeking to run on any other party line. On Thursday, Mr. Tasini will also invite Mrs. Clinton to join him in a debate, Mr. Tasini's spokeswoman said. Nobody from Mrs. Clinton's campaign had an immediate comment yesterday.
