and I believe he is right. There is a lot more behind this than we all know (except Mr. S.).

I am going to the 3rd Party Club meeting tonight, so this might be the "buzz." The Republicans have always been uneasy with Fred who they've called a Democrat for years. He most recently decided to introduce his own legislation to legalize same sex marriage. I had some fun with Eddy Walsh over that. Walsh and I had a shouting match a few years ago when he suddenly decided that Thiele was a "born again" Conservative and endorsed him over Tree Wolf West. Before that, the Conservatives had routinely refused to endorse Thiele who they knew was no true conservative.
The irony is that the Conservative Party endorsed Thiele over Tree Wolf West who is 10 times more conservative in certain ways than Thiele. In fact, I really can't find Thiele conservative credentials in anything except for his support for the death penalty.

I think you may be onto something about trying to succeed LaValle. Problem is that I think that he could make a much better case for the state senate as a Republican. Long Island has been screwed since the Dems took over the state senate. I personally think the Republicans have a great shot of retaking the state senate next year for that very reason. The other problem Thiele has is that no one likes him on the North Fork. He may have some support in Brookhaven, but no more than Marc Alessi.

It has to be way more than that. Who knows, maybe the true story will slowly start to emerge?
