The Posts's Fred Dicker has an "exclusive" today on forthcoming poll results that show the race is actually tightening in New York State, largely attributed to New York women supporting Sarah Palin.  Says one 'prominent Democrat': "If it winds up being tight in New York, that means McCain wins the election nationally."  While the News' Elizabeth Benjamin reports that McCain is within 5 points in the Empire State.

The Post has an exclusive on yet another "power trip"by Charlie Rangel, this time in accepting luxury Caribbean trips paid for by lobbyists.  The Virginia-based National Legal and Policy Center is demanding an investigation.

The Seminerio investigation has expanded into the payment of millions of dollars to top MediSys executives.

The Post follows the 5 Beeps for a week to see just what they do for their $160,000 salarys.  Meanwhile the Daily News' Adam Lisberg says the Council is waiting to follow Hizzoner's lead on term limits which makes for great dinner time conversations amongst the Vallone family.

More after the break...
