(2006-10-31) —
New York Sen. Charles Schumer, chairman of the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee, said today that next Tuesday’s Congressional elections are shaping up to be “more and more a referendum on former President Richard Nixon.”

The remarks come a day after Sen. Schumer received significant media coverage for saying that the election is increasingly becoming a referendum on George W. Bush, although Mr. Bush has promised to serve out his final term as president, and has no immediate plans to seek a seat in the House or Senate.
