"One more thing to remember about the Stupak group: of the ten that I have left in the group, only Lipinski and Kaptur are in solidly Democratic districts."

I live (part time) in central Ohio. Kaptur's district isn't too far from where I live, and I can promise you she's going to end up voting for this. She is as liberal as they come - right next to Sherrod Brown.

The only possible thing she could be angling for is more pork. The county-wide unemployment rates came out last week, and her home county was one of the highest in the state - perhaps the highest. She's looking for some bacon to bring home, IMHO. This has NOTHING to do with abortion.

Plus, she's in her 60's and has never been married, AFAIK. If you catch my drift.

kathy dahlkemper of stupak group is shaky, but lives in Erie where the Bishop Trautman [who supports her] lives.

I understand I will just call her him PAT. I live in MI and Stupak votes 85% of the time with the the libs so I think an Executive Order banning abortion will give him the fig leaf to vote for this thing.
