An aide to Rep. Bart Stupak (D. Mich.) coordinated opposition to a Senate compromise on the place of abortion in health care legislation this morning with the Republican Senate leadership, the Conference Catholic Bishops, and other anti-abortion groups, according to a chain of frantic emails obtained this morning by POLITICO.
Stupak, in an interview with POLITICO, called the Senate’s bill’s abortion position unacceptable – but disavowed his staffer’s collaboration with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Wow. Seems like we still may see some fireworks. Obama better be ready to pay Stupak's district off big.

Screwed once by Stupak and the GOP and people are foolishly jumping back in...
How many times do you have to walk into a wall before you stop doing it?

Stupak is just trying to get a deal as sweet as Nelson did by looking like a holdout. I’m guessing he will be given what he wants.
