An article at the link below reports that friends of Congressman Bart Stupak say he is not leaving Congress because of the health care fight, but because of the exertion that would be required to hold on to his district.
From the article:
“After selling his soul to Nancy Pelosi, it appears that Bart Stupak finally found the courage to tell her no," said National Republican Congressional Committee communications director Ken Spain.
"The political fallout over the Democrats’ government takeover of healthcare has put the political careers of many Democrats in jeopardy thanks in-part to Stupak’s decision to abandon his alleged pro-life principles."
If he tried to run for re-election, he would be branded as the man who sold his vote instead of standing up to his pro-life beliefs.
