Does Stupak sit in any leadership positions on any committee’s?

What do Rahm and Nancy have to hold over his head?

Does he have 40 others who are willing to be stripped of all support and even primaried?

I don't know about the others' fortitude, but Stupak has gotten out farther on a limb than any other House or Senate member. I'd like to hope the conventional wisdom (i.e., he'll fold as Ben Nelson did) is wrong here, that there's one principled pro-life House Democrat, anyway.

Don’t know. All I know is the track record of supposedly “principled” Democrats is about equal to that of Hugo Chavez, which is to say, consistently left.
