'Game changer' Levy calls for $$ uprising - NYPOST.com

A few weeks ago, when I read that former Assemblyman (in Shelly's caucus) and current Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy was seeking the Republican nomination for governor, I looked at the effort in the context of the old paradigm.
Levy is a registered Democrat....he is of a different species and surely old-guard GOP'ers wouldn't allow cats to sleep with dogs.
But these are tough times...the State is careening out of control, the pols in Albany are a laughing stock or worse and the beatification of the son of a former governor has not given us any agenda for making things better.
Levy preaches drastic change and it seems has a record of addressing money issues in the populous Long Island county he presides over. He has run for office...raised lots of money and won.
The MSM accounts of his candidacy are respectful and do not dismiss him as a kook......
Steve Levy has a long way to go to get the GOP nod....Since his registration change does not take effect till next year, his only way on the ballot is at the party convention where he would need more than half the vote in order to get an out of party authorization....There may be too many GOP committee persons who just cannot stomach a man who as a young man checked the wrong box and was seen palling around with liberals (Speaker Silver).
He could catch fire if his message is right....
New Yorkers are craving a message.....
When opponent Rick Lazio issued a press release with 10 reasons not to vote for Levy.....the response from Levy was quick and devastating.....
"Give us one reason to vote for you," he told Mr.Lazio....There was no answer forthcoming.
