Stupak to Retire. That's too bad. He was the central feature of all the speeches yesterday (his district isn't too far from us). Kind of lets the air out of their tires for the next few stops. Michigan Rep. Bart Stupak, the congressman who [fecklessly and ultimately futilely ] led anti-abortion rights Democrats in the House during health care negotiations, will retire this year, CBS News has learned. He is expected to announce his plans later this morning. Had Stupak sought re-election, he would have faced challengers from both the left and the right backed by interest groups angered by Stupak's health care vote. Stupak negotiated with Democratic leaders down to the eleventh hour for stricter abortion language in the health care bill, but he ultimately voted for it after President Obama agreed to sign an executive order assuring [idiots who believe the liar] the new laws will keep taxpayer dollars from funding abortions. cbsnews.com
