Is Mike Arcuri Running?

Michael Arcuri makes a big deal out of being a runner. He's got the goofy photograph of him in jogging shorts at the top of his campaign web site and everything.

But, yesterday, when politicians including Eliot Spitzer turned out in Mike Arcuri's home turf for a 5k run, was Michael Arcuri there? Not, as a reader points out, if you are to believe this morning's Utica Observer-Dispatch.

Ray Meier was there.

Is Michael Arcuri running or not? He's treating this campaign like a cake walk.

No, Arcuri was there. There's a photo of him on the event's web site, although not his own web site - but that's another bone to pick and another thread.
If I'm not mistaken, isn't the Observer-Dispatch slightly to the right of the kaiser? It makes sense to have a photo of Spitzer because, barring a picture of him kicking a puppy he will be the next governor, but they could very well not mention Arcuri because he's the democratic candidate.

LOL 10:19, you get it. The Neocon Dispatch decided to off him. So what else is new. What do you expect from a newspaper that exists solely to get their Conservative candidates elected? What do you expect from a newspaper whose publisher is the daughterinlaw of the late Senator Donovan. Around here we have grown to expect The Untruth and Nothing But The Untruth from this woman and her agenda. Notice they also have no text written with the photo. The Anonymous Runner. What else could we expect from them short of "This photo is "Not Michael Arcuri"? Typical of Ray Meier, he sat on his butt thru the race and then jumped in at the end for the press. You have to be really careful when a camera is near Ray Meier. You could get injured.

He ran. He finished. He was ignored by the Meier Dispatch.

Was Spitzer avoiding Arcuri?

I know a few of you are slapping your heads after seeing that picture.

Wearing that particular t-shirt is going to come back to haunt him before election day.

Ya think? That's not what I think. What I think is it will garner a nice sum of those New Hartford votes that would normally go to Ray Meier. Those people are feeling a bit bashed right now and Meier is doing what he always does in times like that. He runs and hides.

Ok everybody, you will be pleased to know that the Facist Dispatch made a "correction" in their rag this morning. What was their correction? Faso beat Spitzer's time in the BOilermaker race. Nothing on Mike Arcuri yet of course. I do hope Faso enjoys the only win he will have this year though.
