[lbo-talk] Hillary and the single-digit protest

[Carl Remick]

[No doubt Hillary deserves the traditional single-digit salute, but I hope 
the primary-vote protest against her reaches double digits this week -- for 
the reason of "image" cited below in the NY Times.  Tasini is one choice I 
will make with alacrity on Tuesday.]

... Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has a primary challenger on Tuesday, 
Jonathan Tasini, a liberal and former union leader who has based his 
candidacy on opposition to the war in Iraq.

Mrs. Clinton has a huge lead, but she has still spent money on a glossy 
mailing pleading for a huge primary vote.

A low turnout might skew the result a bit if liberals embrace Mr. Tasini; 
for image, the Clinton camp wants to limit the protest vote against her to 
the single digits. ...
