FUTURE LEADER WATCH
Excellent Results in Upstate New York

Democrat Michael Arcuri Tuesday defeated Republican Raymond Meier for a hotly contested seat in Upstate New York, that being vacated by retiring Republican moderate -- and it was actually true in this case, both the retiring and the moderate thing -- Sherwood Boehlert, making Arcuri, who was a year ahead of me at Albany, the "first Democrat in Congress from the Mohawk Valley since . . . John Davies, [who] served in the House from 1949 until 1951," according to the Utica Observer-Dispatch.

I'm telling you now: Keep an eye on this guy. Good things are ahead for Arcuri, for those he represents now and for those he will represent in the future.
