With midterm elections tomorrow, it looks more and more like it’s going
to be a big day for Democrats both in New York State and nationwide.Democrats are trying to take control of the House and Senate.
Candidates on both sides of the aisle around the state and the nation
are squeezing in as much handshaking and baby-kissing as they can.State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer appears poised to become the
next governor of New York. The latest New York 1/Newsday poll shows the
Attorney General with an incredible 50-point lead over Republican
challenger John Faso.The same poll shows Andrew Cuomo with a 28-point lead over Jeanine
Pirro in the race to become Attorney General. Cuomo was campaigning
with Senator Hillary Clinton this morning.But Pirro is not giving up her fight just yet. She has a full day
of campaigning scheduled for the Bronx, Manhattan, and Westchester. She
says she hopes all of her hard work pays off."It’s been 18 hours a day, but I’m a worker and I’m accustomed to
working and I’m very energized by the people who are here," said Pirro.
"And hopefully tomorrow is going to be a very good day."Back in September, Pirro was forced to disclose a federal
investigation into whether she wiretapped her husband. She said the
investigation was politically motivated.On the national front, Democrats appear ready to gain control of
the House of Representatives for the first time in 12 years. Control of
the Senate is up for grabs with Democrats needing six seats to win back
control. Key races in Virginia, Missouri, and Tennessee could be the
deciding factors.President George W. Bush will be out campaigning today in Texas,
Florida, and Arkansas for Republican gubernatorial candidates. With the
president’s popularity dropping, many GOP candidates have kept their
distance from Bush.
