Jonathan Tasini is clearly enjoying himself today after collecting the necessary number of petitions to appear on the primary ballot against Hillary Clinton.

He told us that he collected "north of 30,000, easy," and that he "would have gotten a lot more petitions signed if it weren't for the damned rain."

He said the petitions keep flowing in via Federal Express and personal visits to his headquarters, and that most of those who signed were "so furious about the war."

And where are the people angriest?

"Union Square was a gold mine," he said. "The green market in particular."

Tom Suozzi's first television spot, produced by Martin Hamburger and Rachel Gorlin, showed up via FedEx today and it is, well, peppy. Actually, the soudtrack sounds like it's drawn from the preview for a movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme (where did he disappear to, anyway?) and possibly set in outer space.

I've posted it online here.

Curiously, the script circulated with the video differs from the final version in a couple of places. Suozzi says he "beat New York's most powerful Republican machine." The script says "political machine." And he seems to have ad libbed a line in the middle: "And Albany -- forget about it."
