"United States Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat from Brooklyn, won 
re-election to a second term yesterday by an enormous margin, outpolling the 
former top vote-getter in the state, the late Senator Daniel Patrick 
Moynihan, and fueling talk that he may soon become a candidate for governor.

"Mr. Schumer defeated his opponents with more than 70 percent of the vote, a 
figure that exceeded Mr. Moynihan's record for a Senate election of 67 
percent in 1988. His margin is doubly noteworthy because Mr. Moynihan's 
record was set in his run for a third term, after 12 years in the Senate, 
whereas Mr. Schumer is completing his first term. ..."
