| − | '''The [[Conservative]] Party of New York State''' is a political party in [[New_York|New York]] State (USA) that was formed during the early 1960's in response to the liberal leanings of the state [[Republican|Republican Party]] (which was dominated by then Governor [[Nelson Rockefeller]]). It remains an influential third party in that very [[liberal]] state. Though it keeps its independence from the state Republican Party, it cross endorses the Republican Party for President consistently. In state elections, ever since Nelson Rockefeller left the Governorship, it also has been cross-endorsing Republican candidates for governor (but not always without interparty strife with the Republicans and intra-party strife within the Conservative Party). <ref>http://www.cpnys.org/</ref> | + | '''The [[Conservative]] Party of New York State''' is a political party in [[New York]] State (USA) that was formed during the early 1960's in response to the liberal leanings of the state [[Republican]] Party (which was dominated by then Governor [[Nelson Rockefeller]]).
