Steve Levy’s twice having run on the left-ish, since-submerged Green Party line for state Assembly in 2000 and 2002, as described here earlier today, didn’t surprise state Conservative Party Chairman Michael Long, who backs Levy's GOP rival, Rick Lazio.

Newsday:
For major-party candidates, ties to alternative parties can bring advantages or burdens. Businessman Randy Altschuler seeks the GOP nomination against 1st Congressional District Rep. Tim Bishop (D-Southampton). He's endorsed by Suffolk's Conservatives. But he's also drawn fire from rivals for having once registered about a decade ago with the leftish Green Party.

If anything having a Republican candidate who was a former Green to me seems like a plus.
He didn't learn conservatism at the dinner table. This guy who came by his conservatism the hard way -- he went into business and saw what a mess bureaucracy and ad hoc regulations cause.
There is no one more faithful than the convert.
I wish he'd just come out and make a statement to that effect.
Yeah for real! Considering Green issues were first and foremost a Republican issue to begin w/ (a la Teddy Roosevelt), so many GOP members should be still carrying this flag! Just like Levy is! Like his other Long Island predecessor!
