The former state trooper ran for Congress in 1992 with a pledge to fix
the nation's health-care system. "Health care is a right," reads a

The momentum of rats leaving the ship has begun. Elections in November and 2012 will get rid of the rats that are left. I kind of like drawing and quartering better, it seems more effective, but that has gone out of style.

I wonder too if Obama has even bothered to call Stupak to thank him for falling on his sword.
