That guy has one of the worst cases of tunnel vision on record. Look at his "cast" of Terri supporters: "...with a cast of characters that included the nation's most powerful politicians including, President George W. Bush, his brother, Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Senate Majority Leader, Bill Frist, DeLay, a host of longtime Christian conservative evangelical leaders and a horde of conservative pundits and media personalities -- exemplified by Fox Television's Sean Hannity."

Look who he left out! He omits all of these left-wing voices who spoke out for Terri, some of them with eloquence and passion: Jesse Jackson, Sen. Tom Harken (an otherwise bitter liberal), Nat Hentoff, the dean of leftist civil libertarians, Ralph Nader, presidential candidate of the hard left, and leftist lawyers David Boies, Alan Dershowitz and Gloria Allred. Plus, just about every disability rights group in the country (few if any of them "conservative").

The way I looked at it, a cause that could bring together the Pope, the president of the United States, Tom Delay and Jesse Jackson, Dick Cheney and Nat Hentoff, protestors of both the left and the right, and the Congress of the United States, was astonishing. That such a coalition could LOSE was even more astonishing.

Your 1747: How exactly can he include as Terri proponents our leaders who failed to rescue Terri and in fact stopped her rescue? If Terri were still living, blame away but they (know who they are) only deserve blame and scorn for STOPPING HER RESCUE.

They looked at the wrong poll and abandoned her.
