Stupak can’t vote yay.

Bart Stupak is in quite a bit mud right now, but he has postured himself on the abortion issue amongst his party, and his party is decidedly pro-abortion.

He is facing a primary challenge by a pro-abortion Democrat, and since he just lost the issue of corrections resolution, it comes down to how vicious the pro-aborts will be leading up to the primary.

If Stupak votes yes on this debacle of a bill, not to mention the unconstitutional premise, he will face defeat in November, because of his promise to his constituents that he would not cave on abortion funding.

If he votes no and subsequently kills the bill, he faces being ousted in the primary, which is possible because his female challenger is bringing massive NARAL funding into the district.

So, it comes down to a yes vote with many guarantees of funding which will haunt him in the summer when Tom Coburn shines the spotlight on all yes votes and what they received to secure the passage of the bill.

Or a no vote and face being ousted by his own party.

Since Stupak is a key liberal voter that votes mostly with Pelosi, and is close with Waxman and Markey, the only issue that his primary challenger would bring to Pelosi’s House is abortion.  Which is useless in a minority.

The only way Michigan’s  First District remains blue is if Stupak votes no.

But, regardless what he votes, The Democrats will lose the House.
