ITHACA — When Hillary Rodham Clinton arrived in Ithaca in March to speak at Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine, her entourage rolled up in black SUVs, windows tinted, security tight.
On Wednesday, her opponent in the Democratic Primary Election for U.S. Senate rolled into Ithaca on his bike.
Jonathan Tasini, who is conducting an almost-improbable campaign to unseat Clinton as New York's junior senator, stopped at DeWitt Park as part of his Ride For Peace tour, a 600-mile journey from Manhattan to Buffalo he began to drum up support for his campaign and call attention to the Iraq war.
