"My view was that, when the chips were down and if there was no other candidate, the Conservative Party would do it. But all we wanted first was for Rudy to say he was against partial birth abortion. He never did."

— New York Conservative Party chairman Mike Long, quoted in Human Events, explaining his party's reluctance to endorse Rudy Giuliani for Senate back in 2000. The quote is significant because Giuliani, in a glaring flip-flop, is now claiming that he's against late-term abortion, even though he repeatedly said he was for it in 2000.
