...poll results underscored the results of last week's elections, where Democrats held ground in places they had lost badly in recent years. In Kentucky, where Clinton bashing was a foolproof formula in the '94 congressional races, it didn't work for G.O.P. gubernatorial candidate Larry Forgy. The winner was Democratic Lieutenant Governor Paul Patton, who turned the tables and made Newt Gingrich the boogeyman in his campaign. In Virginia, Republicans were stopped just short of gaining control of the state legislature for the first time ever...
Worse still for them is that the President shows strength in almost every part of the country. It may not be surprising that he's a winner in the Northeast (Clinton, 57%, to Dole, 37%).

Johnson dominated the league, leading the majors in strikeouts for the fourth straight year on the way to an 18-2 record and a 2.48 earned run average. Perhaps no pitcher was more valuable to his team than the "Big Unit"; the Mariners were 27-3 in games...
