>>As for who gains, every analyst I've read says the Reps want him to stay and Dems want him to go.<< I'd say if Helms had the choice between the two he'd probably side with the Democrats. The Republicans are certainly sitting the in the "cat-bird" seat.

>>As for who gains, every analyst I've read says the Reps want him to stay and Dems want him to go. The six rear itch means that the Dems lose 30-40 House seats without scandal, with it, the sky's the limit. That's six year itch. However, rear sorta fits too.

Complete agreement from Ramesh Ponnuru of the National Review: But the bubbly will taste a little flat, their heads keep reminding them: Al Gore is waiting in the wings. Most Republicans in Washington I have canvassed think they are better off with a wounded, limping President Clinton than a fresh-faced Al Gore. If Clinton resigns, goes the reasoning, Gore gets to play healer of the nation. He will benefit from a national outpouring of good will; the public will want Republicans to give him a chance. Every Democrat who called for Clinton's resignation in advance becomes a hero. And Gore goes into 2000 as an incumbent.
