Which was the most fevered lunge for self-promotion by a power player?
1. Chris Bodkin, Islip board member and former Republican, eying the Democratic nomination against veteran Sen. Caesar Trunzo, who as Islip GOP chair had tried to dump him from the town’s party ticket.
2. Jimmy Dahroug, an aide to Suffolk Executive Steve Levy, seeking the nomination and preparing for a primary, calling Bodkin a top-down, not grass-roots, choice.
3. Suffolk Legis. Ricardo Montano saying Bodkin, as recent Democrat, ought to “get at the end of the line.”
