HILL, BILL HIT STREETS

Bill and Hillary Clinton tag-teamed voters to boost turnout in the Democratic base yesterday, with the former president warning that Republicans may try to tamp down Election Day turnout tomorrow.

“This country was founded on the consent of the governed. There is no ruling class in America, and they do not have the right to disenfranchise voters,” Bill Clinton told the crowd at a Yonkers get-out-the-vote rally.

“When they come after someone else’s vote, it won’t be long until before they come after yours,” he added.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Republicans need to be shown the door tomorrow because “we need to get back to Democratic leadership in Albany and Washington.”

In the afternoon, gubernatorial front-runner Eliot Spitzer and attorney-general front-runner Andrew Cuomo trolled the streets of Washington Heights.

“On Wednesday morning when we wake up, we will be on Step One of a crusade to turn the state around,” Spitzer said. “We’re ahead right now, but it won’t matter if we don’t finish the game.”
