LOBBYI$TS LOVE HILLARY - By GEOFF EARLE

May 25, 2006 -- WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton took more campaign cash from well-heeled lobbyists this year than any lawmaker except one, an analysis of Washington's influence industry reveals.

Clinton raked in $418,000 from lobbyists this year, including $68,000 from political-action committees that lobbyist firms set up to cut big checks to political campaigns.

The only lawmaker who raised more from lobbyists was Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), who faces one of the toughest re-election fights in the country.

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.
