NY Governor Bill Weld 2010

Let's say in 2006 Bill Weld, after losing the GOP nomination, runs for Governor as a Libertarian Party and Independence Party candidate. He comes second in the general (ahead of GOP and Conservative party backed Faso) and proves his metal.

In 2010, Carl Paladino takes the GOP nomination and Weld runs an IP-LP campaign and wins as the state GOP apparatus rallies around him (sort of like how Tom Tancredo in Colorado ran as the Constitution Party candidate when the GOP candidate was a flop in 2010). Maybe Weld picks Rick Lazio as his Lt Gov candidate.

Andrew Cuomo wins. Period. The core Democratic vote in New York is just too big even against even united, let alone divided, opposition. (I doubt very much that Weld would come in second, ahead of even a weak Republican-Conservative candidate like Faso in 2006, btw, but that's another matter.)
