"Mrs. Clinton mentioned the war in Iraq — a contentious undercurrent throughout the Democratic gathering — just once. Rather than defend her decision to vote for authorizing the war, as she sometimes has in the past, Mrs. Clinton emphasized the need to rely on Iraqi security forces so American troops can come home. Her comments came as the convention passed a resolution urging a troop withdrawal at the earliest practical date and as an antiwar activist, Jonathan Tasini, said he would seek the 15,000 signatures needed to enter a primary against Mrs. Clinton in September."

A day before Hillary Rodham Clinton was due to be crowned by state Democrats for a second term, Clinton’s operatives were waging a bitter behind-the-scenes campaign to keep anti-war candidate Jon Tasini from sneaking his nomination onto the floor.

Tasini, who thinks Clinton betrayed her progressive roots by backing the Iraq war, spent much of Tuesday trying to collect the 10 delegates’ signatures needed to present his candidacy before the convention Wednesday morning.

Tasini stands no real chance of beating Clinton, but if he wins this procedural battle he’d earn the right to second his own nomination — allowing him to rip into Clinton in front of her supporters, family and national media.

From the Albany Times Union

"Before the convention ends Wednesday, it's possible Clinton will suffer some fallout for her support of the Iraq War and her refusal to call for the immediate withdrawal of American troops. Jonathan Tasini, a labor activist, is riding his bicycle from New York City to Buffalo and collecting signatures on a petition asking the state Democratic Party to adopt a resolution to end the Iraq War. He plans to deliver the signatures to the convention Tuesday."
