19. I think Stupak thought he could get political mileage by
"taking a stand". The executive order that he "demanded" does not move the ball one way or the other, as far as I know. He tried to ingratiate himself to the teabaggers and it bit him right on the ass. If teabaggers even perceive that they are not getting what they want, they will turn on repugs, too.
