Gephardt is pushing Democrats to stay on the message that "if you want two more years of investigations, vote for them." And a handful of Democrats have already picked up steam by standing against G.O.P. overzealousness. In New York, Representative Charles Schumer has pulled into...

...rain-soaked Cone fell apart against the Indians, and Yankees manager Joe Torre thinks the 36-year-old will benefit from some sunshine. But there's added pressure on the Padres to keep this thing competitive with a win Tuesday: on November 3, the city of San Diego will vote on whether to chip in for a new stadium for the Pods.
