3rd pol mulls (Peter) King challenge (Dave Denenberg)

[Renew Deal]

First, former Suffolk Legis. Dave Bishop, now a Babylon town board member, took a poll, and then he took a powder.

Later, Nassau Legis. David Mejias (D-North Massapequa) flew to the Capitol to confer with congressional Democrats, only to demur.

Now, Nassau lawmaker David Denenberg says he is "seriously considering" challenging veteran Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford), and is taking the first concrete steps toward mounting a campaign.

Denenberg says he will formally set up a fundraising committee in Washington this week, after meeting last Monday with Democratic congressional officials in New York City. He will do his own poll and give himself about a month to see if he can raise $250,000, the first installment for a $1-million race. Then he'll decide.

"I don't want to run for the sake of running," Denenberg said. "If I decide to run, it will be to win."

This guy is my county legislator. He's awesome and would be a great replacement of King.

1. Some threads from the past - methinks King has gone mental

dissing his constituents - and Denenberg should use this against him:
