Is/was D'Amato pro-life? The main reson for that, as I recall, was that he didn't want all of New York's 'eggs in one basket' as I recall. His endorsement sure held sway in that election, though, eh? (/sarcasm)
You can't admit you were wrong? Stern does not exclusively endorse pro-choice candidates. He supported Al D'Amato.
It had nothing to do with "all the eggs in one basket", whatever that means. He thought Al D'Amato was the greatest senator NY ever had.
In fact, he was quite close to D'Amato, playing poker with him on the weekends and going out to dinner with him quite often.
