...might be her moment. Her favorability rating is at 78% in New York City and at 65% statewide. Her bravura performance in the run-up to last November's elections, when her stumping and fund raising helped seal Senate victories for Boxer and New York's Charles Schumer, enhanced her star power. She has fully returned from the psychic sojourn that followed Clinton's August admission of his affair with Lewinsky. She exerts a strong influence behind the scenes, and her fingerprints were all over dozens of items in the President's budget, from a tax credit for stay...

Congressman Jim Lightfoot in the Iowa Governor's race. The Vilsack campaign crested when Hillary was there...
...York Senator AL D'AMATO (5) called his Jewish opponent, Representative Chuck Schumer, a "putzhead" in front of a group of Jews. It's unsure whether they took it in its Yiddish context (penis head) or as a modern slur (jerk), but one thing is clear: Senator Pothole's campaign collapsed into...
