In the second and final debate in the race for the United States Senate seat in New York, Senator Charles E. Schumer found himself under sharp attack from his Republican and Conservative opponents last night over his record on everything from homeland security and the appointment of federal judges to the availability of flu vaccines. But for most of the hourlong debate in Ithaca, N.Y., Mr. Schumer pointedly ignored the jabs and instead sought to portray himself as an effective senator with a long record of accomplishment that includes helping secure billions of dollars in aid for New York in...

While national Democratic leaders have been busy pummeling President Bush, New York's senior senator, Charles E. Schumer, a Democrat, spent part of a campaign debate on Sunday aligning himself with the president, saying he voted with Mr. Bush "to extend the child income tax credit,'' and that he "voted with the president for authorization to go into Iraq." With those comments, Mr. Schumer underscored a strategic reality as he seeks re-election: He is not just content to win a second term in the United States Senate, but he is looking to win big. And to do that, he must attract...

NY Senate candidate calls for Springsteen boycott 8/16/2004, 2:18 p.m. ET By MARC HUMBERT The Associated Press ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Upset with Bruce Springsteen's effort to bounce President Bush from the White House, the New York Conservative Party's candidate for U.S. Senate is launching a "Boycott the Boss" television ad. "He thinks making millions with a song-and-dance routine allows him to tell you how to vote," Marilyn O'Grady says in the 30-second spot. "Here's my vote: Boycott the Boss.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) _ Republican Howard Mills, Gov. George Pataki's choice to challenge the re-election bid of Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer, said Friday he is giving up his fight to win win the Conservative Party ballot line. No Republican running for statewide office in New York has won without Conservative Party backing since U.S. Sen. Jacob Javits in 1974. State Conservative Party Chairman Michael Long has said Mills, the deputy minority leader of the state Assembly, is unacceptable as a Senate candidate because of his support for abortion rights and civil unions for homosexuals. Long has instead endorsed Dr. Marilyn...

arden City, N.Y.BEING an ophthalmologist, Dr. Marilyn F. O'Grady possibly hasn't much cause to perfect her bedside manner; a competent chairside manner is more to the point. Presumably the manner she devotes to her patients at this his-and-hers/hers-and-his medical office - she handles eyes, her husband, John, concentrates on teeth - is less antsy , and more patient, than the brisk reception in store for a reporter who has come to inquire about her selection last week as the Conservative Party's challenger to Senator Charles E. Schumer, a Democrat. Soothing, she is not. Nor flattered by news media attention, which...
