Looks like Rep. Bart Stupak is already seeing the pushback from constituents to his decision to back Obamacare because President Obama promised to issue a meaningless Executive Order concerning federal funding of abortion.
Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit just posted this from a reader:
STUPAK FOLDS.
Meanwhile, reader Lisa Schell writes:
Watch the momentum on Stupaks opponents facebook page. Dr. Dan Benishek is running against Stupak in Michigan. Check out the velocity of his growth since Stupak announced: Benishek for Congress.
His membership is currently growing at a rate of about 20 new members every 30-60 seconds and incoming comments are fast and furious. People are begging him to set up his donation site so that they can start a money bomb.
Like the protester said yesterday, if you vote yes on the bill, well vote no on you in November.

As you can see here, the Benishek campaign is a work in progress. And Benishek's wall on Facebook is clearly getting a surge.

When I signed onto Dr. Benishek's FB page earlier today, right after Benedict Bart turned on the American people, there were only about 300 or so members. As of this moment: 7,655 members! THE SECOND REVOLUTION HAS BEGUN.

Just heard on Hannity that Stupak announced $700,000 new funding for three airports in his district. Now we know how much an unborn baby’s life is worth to this jerkwad.

I just became a fan on Benishek’s Facebook. But he doesn’t have an on-line contribution option. He needs to get up to speed fast.

Benedict Bart might have gone down in history as the person who helped save Americans from Obamacare. He spoke of returning to a 'normal' life--'normal'? Forget that, Stupak. From now on, when people speak your name, they will forget any/all of the good you did in the past. They'll just remember the betrayal.
You are now in the annals of history for betraying your constituents and the entire country of America by rolling over and playing puppet for HolyO. I hope you choke on that $700K. < cyberspits in disgust >

Hopefully soon in the blogosphere the term “Stupak” is the same as “Judas”.

LOL! Mr. Pro-Life sold out for airports! Any person or group who believes a WORD any Democrat utters is a fool.
Stupak lied, babies died.

Just as the name of Norwegian collaborator Quisling became a synonymous for cowardice and thralldom, will the name of Congressman Stupak come to signify disingenous double-dealing, a temporary charade of clinging to principle? A fitting inheritance, perhaps ...

Stupak will be one of the 60 to 70 democrats in the House who are going to lose their seat this November.
