| More than 200 miles from Harlem, Charlie Rangel has become a household name. That's a problem for Rep. Michael Arcuri. The Oneida County Democrat, locked in one of the tightest House races in the nation, has in recent months scrambled to cut ties with the embattled Rangel. Arcuri was the first -- and so far only -- Democratic congressman from New York to urge Rangel to quit in the wake of 13 ethics charges. In March, he gave to charity $23,000 in campaign contributions from the longtime Harlem lawmaker. |

| #1 Charlie's like our old governor Edwin Edwards, but with a tan. Old-school, charismatic, 'honest' crooks. And 'representative' of the communities that elected them. |
