New York

Democrat Hillary Clinton comfortably held her Senate seat and will be hoping that this boosts her standing in advance of an expected presidential bid in 2008.

And to complete a good night for the party in New York, Eliot Spitzer became the first Democratic governor of the state since 1994.

In the 26th House district, incumbent Republican Tom Reynolds successfully and narrowly fought for his political life after details emerged of how much he knew about disgraced Congressman Mark Foley's activities before they became public.

The Democrats gained districts 19 and 20.
