Furthermore, there are items with this story that don't make the pro-Michael supporters look good. Conflict of interest with respect to Greer, the hospice, the behavior of Michael. Remember that this doctor was not PERMITTED to examine Terri because of a court order. In fact, Greer is preventing people from attempting to use a wet rag to hydrate Terri.
When then case is a theoretical discussion of euthanasia of brain-dead people (Terri is not) versus keeping them alive, the euthanasia crowd wins. When the details of the case are known, it looks terrible for the pro-death crowd.
You are absolutely correct. The 'real story' behind the history of this will only emerge, unfortunately, after Terri dies. The rush to snuff her will sicken all but the most hard-hearted lefties.
Listen, we could all easily be Terri. Any one of us could be there today after a car accident. There's a great deal of soul searching going on out there. Political price? People will not vote AGAINST Republicans in mass numbers over something that happened 18 months before the next general election.
However, I would not want to be George Greer in his next reelection bid...

I think you're right about this being a lose for dems when people take a closer look. *I* took a closer look and changed my mind.
