...most nationally publicized race has been the competition to fill the New York seat formerly held by Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan. First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and Rep. Rick Lazio (R-N.Y.) have been engaged in a cutthroat race, and for the moment it appears Clinton has a slight edge in the polls...
...Hillary Clinton has won New York, and we now have the saddest television image of the campaign to date. Rick Lazio, her opponent, taking his daughter with him into the ballot box - inside a Ford dealership. There's something so sad and small about the idea, about executing this grand, public, civic gesture in a private business, a car dealership, no less.

...hectic campaigning, as he did last week. At Hofstra University he told an audience chanting "Four more years!" that he was there because it was Hillary's turn now.

She embraces the record Gore can't even bring himself to acknowledge. The Clintons' togetherness peaked at her 53rd birthday party at Roseland ballroom (haul: $2 million), headlined by Cher, Tom Cruise and Robert...
...fall TV season, each election season sees its trends and twists. Late in this campaign, for instance, we saw the anti-negative negative ad. In New York's Senate race, Democrat Hillary Clinton attacked Republican Rick Lazio for his having attacked her by tying her to Middle East terrorism. In Washington State, Democrat Maria Cantwell released a spot saying, "You know what's wrong in politics today? All the negative ads" - and then aired a hatchet ad saying her adversary "broke his promise to seniors," accompanied by the sound of breaking glass. Others put the attack in the mouths...
...ready to step into the limelight, just like Hillary. No apologies, no excuses, we even have our own own club (the Seneca) and were going to show those old boys what we're made of. That twerp Lazio? He's toast. C'mon girls, let's show Hillary we're made of the stronger stuff...
