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.
