Of course, not all of Gingrich's flip-flops take place over a matter of weeks--sometimes he's waited months, or even years, to change his position. Gingrich fully backed liberal Republican Dede Scozzafava in the 2009 upstate New York congressional race until she dropped out of the race and endorsed the Democrat. Gingrich laid low for a while and then coneded in February 2010 it was wrong of him to endorse Scozzafava.
"She had some positions that were far more radical than I realized at the time," he said. But Scozzafava's liberal record was out there for all to see, as I reported at the time.
