Just in case you've forgotten as Mike Conners runs in the Democratic primary for Albany County Comptroller, follow this link to the NYS Senate Republican Campaign Committee just a couple years ago. Click on Schedule R Expense Allocation Section and you'll find that they gave him $508,000 to run against a Democrat.
The history is that he couldn't or wouldn't come up with his own money that the Democratic Assembly campaign committee asks potential candidates to put up for polling before committing their own resources.
So Mike Conners switched to the Republican Party which did promise money to run against an incumbent Democratic Senator. Conners lost and switched back. But he still made financial contributions to the Albany County Republican Committee in June of 2006.
Is this the behavior of an independent? No. It's an opportunist willing to take money without principle in order to further his own career. Neither loyal nor independent.
If he loses the Democratic primary, will he switch back to the Republicans again?
