  They're Not Giving Up Yet

You have to admire conservative pundits. Faced with a considerable challenge -- how to keep defending their favorite candidate despite his having openly embraced a pro-choice position that should make him anathema to their party's base -- they're rising to the occasion:

Byron York says the clarity is a good thing, and abortion may not be the deal-breaker it's made out to be.

Charles Krauthammer says... something not entirely coherent, but it has to do with judges.

Mona Charen says that terrorism is the new abortion anyway.

And yet, one suspects that all these efforts to reason their way out of Rudy's abortion dilemma aren't going to amount to much.

UPDATE: On the other side of the fence, Human Events has a copy of a NARAL candidate questionnaire Rudy filled out in 1997. Ruh-roh.
