USA Today: 24th District Democrats Have "A Reasonable Shot"

The headline in this morning's USA Today read, "Democrats focus House hopes in Northeast". Beneath that headline, reporter Andrea Stone declared that Democrats "have a reasonable shot" at winning the 24th District seat, and notes that the Northeast in general is "fertile ground for Democrats to pick up many of the 15 seats they need to regain House control."

The article does not mention any Democratic frontrunner. It looks like, whether Michael Arcuri or Les Roberts wins the September primary, the Republicans have a tough fight on their hands... at the very same time that other formerly safe Republican Districts in New York State are opening up, and all the incumbent Democrat districts seem likely to remain in Democratic hands.

Go 24th District Dems! I hope we can put aside all the bickering evident on this website and let this primary play out. Roberts or Arcuri - we're going to take this district!

it would be nice to feel as though I had somebody in the house actually representing me.

I want to see Meier's stupid looking face on a losing night in a very bad way.
