Americans head to the polls

When Americans go to the polls Tuesday, they will decide the balance of power in the next Congress, pick the next crop of governors and send a message about President Bill Clinton's future, even if they say that's not their intent.

Thirty-four U.S. Senate seats, 36 governorships and all 435 House seats are up in Tuesday's balloting, but no single national issue -- especially not Monica Lewinsky or the pending House impeachment inquiry -- has become the pivotal point on which Election '98 will turn.
