So yesterday, I had the chance to interview Jonathan Tasini about his race.  More to come on that...

But worth noting right now ... was his response to my very first question ... "What message do you find that you're having the most trouble getting out?"

After a bit about how Senator Clinton is a "shapeshifter," and after explaining that her campaign is in some ways a "charade," Tasini defaulted to blaming the media and money for his difficulties.

Ironically, Celeste Katz of the Daily News called Tasini mid-interview, seeking his comments on Bill Clinton's latest manuevering vis-a-vis Sen. Lieberman.

Tasini's messge to Katz (the recording of which you can listen to below):

"There's only one reason that Bill Clinton crosses the border to Connecticut, and that's because of the race here, where Hillary Clinton is facing MY candidacy which is fundamentally about the same issue ... the support for the war."

But... apparently... that message - didn't quite make the cut in today's paper.  Hmmm...
