>>I don't view that as bad news for Dems at all. I do because, as I stated before, Republicans gain in the last three weeks historically and will do so this time as the focus moves away from the impeachment inquiry. I expect the Reps to tie the Dems to Clinton and state that every Dem is a Clinton. They will drive home the point that the Rep Congress is the only thing standing between Clinton and his absolute and irresponsible power. You see, at this point the preference for divided government works in favor of Reps in a big way. That should be the overarching theme of the Rep endgame: You can't trust the known liar Clinton! For Adult Supervision - Vote Republican!

The Appellate Div overturned that political decision by the Bronx judge concerning the Yankee ballot measure, 5-0. That decision will stand and it will remain off the ballot. There went Schumer's last chance.

VOTERS WILL DECIDE BILL'S FATE By DEBORAH ORIN THERE are just 12 days to Election Day, and just about every sign points to a boom year for Republicans around the nation. Forget all the White House spin about how President Clinton is demanding that impeachment be conducted the way he wants. On Nov. 4, the morning after the election, the verdict will be in. Analysts can blather on all they like, claiming this election isn't about Sexgate, just about local contests. This is a democracy, so the results will send a message on whether to punish Clinton - and how hard. If Republicans gain just a few House and Senate seats, the impeachment drive likely will fizzle. But if the GOP picks up 15 House seats and five Senate seats - for a filibuster-proof 60 - Clinton's critics will be raring to go. To the horror of some fellow GOPers, House Speaker Newt Gingrich yesterday gleefully predicted his party could wind up with close to 40 more House seats - if everything breaks for us. A new poll by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center shows Republicans have a 5-point edge in congressional elections among those most likely to vote. That's about what polls conducted by political pros - as opposed to some TV networks - have shown all along. But what about the messy middle? What if Republicans gain, say eight House seats and two or three Senate seats? Then the real question may be how angry fellow Democrats, particularly senators, are at Clinton for how he has devastated their party over the past six years. On Clinton's watch, the number of Dem senators has slid from 57 to 45, House Dems are down from 258 to 206, and Democratic governors have dwindled from 30 to 17. Dems are likely to slip further by every measure on Nov. 3 as the Radon President continues to devastate his party. Republicans may have the jitters about trying to kick out a president, but there could be a post-election push for strong punishment if mad-at-Clinton Democrats join them. Dems are frazzled with fear that Clinton could make history again - by helping elect a record number of Republicans (59 or more) to the U.S. Senate. Thanks a lot, Bill - there's your legacy, grumps a Democratic strategist Since senators were first popularly elected in 1914 (until then, state legislatures chose them), the record number for Republicans is 59, set back in 1921-23. This year, analysts predict Republicans, now at 55, could go up to 59 or 60. The parties expect to trade Senate seats in Ohio and Indiana. After that, there are seven seriously at-risk Democratic Senate seats but only two Republican seats, including Al D'Amato's. The Senate, which will decide Clinton's fate if he's impeached, isn't as partisan as the House, so Clinton can't count on blind support against any punishment. Most of the Senate's Democratic leaders of conscience - Sens. Joe Lieberman (Conn.), Daniel P. Moynihan (N.Y.), Bob Kerrey (Neb.) and Bob Byrd (W. Va.) have sharply denounced Clinton's behavior. Insiders insist several others - like Mary Landrieu (La.), Max Cleland (Ga.) and Tim Johnson (S.D.) - are livid, too. And Clinton can't count on endangered Sens. Fritz Hollings (S.C.) and Harry Reid (Nev.) to back him if they win re-election in contests made far harder by Sexgate. That is why the White House knows full well it may be reading Clinton's fate when it reads the election returns on Nov. 3. nypost.com
