According to the poll I saw, most Americans favor putting Terri to death, so the Republicans seem to gain nothing from this, other than doing the right thing.

Yeah, I heard that too. However, my own anecdotal poll reveals that almost everyone I talk to who is in favor of killing Terri knows next to nothing about the case except what they heard on the MSM. Once I explain some facts (no written instructions, husband came up with the notion after 7 years, he's now living with a woman with two kids, her parents want to care for her), almost nobody supports pulling the plug.

Exactly my experience as well.
