Party-switching Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy wants to "take a sledgehammer to Albany and knock it to pieces and then rebuild it from scratch"—which is exactly what the mustachioed man is doing to the Republican Party. Since he entered the race, Levy has created a major rift among Republicans, according to Politico. Levy won the backing of state GOP chairman Ed Cox, but former Gov. Pataki and former Mayor Giuliani are backing Rick Lazio's Republican bid. Insiders say Levy will emphasize his fiscal responsibility and hard-line stance against immigration to run as a "Scott Brown-type candidate, not as a moderate," but his opponent is already trying to depict him as a liberal for supporting tax increases and calling President Obama's stimulus package "manna from heaven."
