Schumer Warns Republicans That Scandals Alone Won't Help Them in 2014 (CNS News)

(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) says Republicans are making a mistake if they're counting on scandals to help them win in the midterm election:

"My warning to the Republicans is look at 1998. All they did is spend their time on the impeachment of Bill Clinton, and for the first time, the incumbent president didn't lose seats in the House," Schumer told NBC's "Meet the Press."

Republicans lost five seats to Democrats in the 1998 midterm.
