Don't let Jimmy Dahroug off so easy here guys. A lot of people including a number of DFNYC members went out to Long Island and gave of their time and personal sweat and tears to help Dahroug get those signatures. It is a slap in their faces for him to collect all those signatures, get on the ballot and then decide not to make the race. Maybe Dahroug saw the poll numbers and the signatures Foley had gotten, knew he would lose, and decided to spare himself the pain of a losing primary night? Maybe he is earning a future favor from the local party by not contesting the primary? Maybe Foley and Dahroug cut a deal whereby Foley dropped his petition challenge in exchange for him dropping out? Whatever the case may be, Dahroug owes his supporters the full and true explanation. I would think his political future depends on it. Otherwise why would these people be willing to go out and collect signatures for him next time?
