If nothing else, Tom Golisano is keeping New York politicos on their toes.

Case in point, the New York Times reports that Golisano, a registered Republican, is donating $1 million to the host committee for the Democratic Party Denver convention. That makes him "one of the largest donors to the planning efforts," says the Times.

Golisano has always blurred the political lines, even forming his own party to match his ideals. But his efforts to shake up and shape up elections this year have left many in politics and the media wondering what the guy is up to. Golisano has said he'll spend $5 million on State Legislature elections this year, through his newly formed Responsible New York PAC. A list of candidates that the PAC will back - he insists it will include both Republicans and Democrats - is expected soon.

Golisano's advisor, former Erie County Democratic Party chair Steve Pigeon, seems to have a lot of influence on Golisano's latest actions. Pigeon, however, told the Times that the $5 million donation is "not a matter of party, it's a matter of ideals and policy."
