Rosehill says her side can win without resorting to explicitly anti-gay rhetoric, and she says she told the national Christian Coalition she wouldn't work with a local affiliate group she found "homophobic." Still, the campaign's most quoted and colorful character is strategist Michael Gabbard, who practices bhakti yoga and runs something called Stop Promoting Homosexuality International.

In New York, Representative Charles Schumer has pulled into a dead heat with Alfonse D'Amato in his bid to unseat the Senator. In this overwhelmingly pro-Clinton state, argues a Democratic strategist, the question of which man voters want to have sitting in judgment of Clinton could actually mean "a couple of points" for Schumer. D'Amato may be feeling the heat: some of his backers will launch a tax-exempt advertising campaign this week to "educate" New York voters about Schumer...
