Thought I would write a quick diary entry even though this is also in the comments. I know it may not meet the requirements of an entry, but this needs exposure fast if it is true:
According to Fox News. He is buying the Executive Order BS. He as looking for such a deal according to Life News:
http://www.lifenews.com/nat6158.html
Also from the Hill is a report saying they are close to a deal: http://thehill.com/homenews/house/88079-stupak-we-are-close-to-deal-with-the-white-house
Due to the timing and the fact I just heard this on Fox, it seems they may have reached a deal. Melt the phone lines of the Stupak bloc and do it now. The voters are not stupid. Executive orders are temporary and governement controlled healthcare will, at some point in the future have federally funded abortion. The only soltion is to KILL THE BILL.
This guy must be an idiot.

Stupak never caved, he has been just wanting to save his job and has been begging Pelosi for some sort of cover that he can satisfy his pro-life voting segment.

Once again, Stupak - and any other elected Democrat

RQ is absolutely right, he only wants cover. I hope the cover he gets is burning coals.
Never, ever trust a Democrat

Unless you define “the right thing” as a continual, inexorable growth of clawing, grasping, seizing government.
When it comes down to crunch time, a Democrat ALWAYS will side with growing government, regardless of whatever meaningless “principles” they throw out.
So, hey, enjoy the long waiting lists at the faceless bureaucratic doctor’s office, Democrat supporters. I’m sure the government will be more receptive to your complaints than your HMO.

If he caves
redtillimdead (Diary) Sunday, March 21st at 1:09PM EST (link)Anyone know of a strong candidate to run against him next year? He has no strong GOP opponent yet, but maybe after he caves, fundraising for the announced candidates will take off.
Nancy Pelosi can kiss my asstroturf.
He is a YES

If Stupak is yes, that doesn't mean it's over. One of the rest of the coalition can take the lead and vote no.

Maybe. We can definitely hope.
JSobieski (Diary) Sunday, March 21st at 1:57PM EST (link)I think the opposite may be happening. I think Stupak may be crumbling to “get something” because his coalition is caving.
At this point, we have no choice but to just stay hopeful.
My rules of the road for primary season.
Rule #1: Vote for YOUR first choice in the primaries
Rule #2: Vote for the R in the general.
Rule #3: Don’t let anyone convince you to violate Rule #1 or Rule #2
Rule #4: When in a center-right argument, reaffirm Rules #1-#3–it will help us all to get along better.
Rule #5: If you are using the language of the left, you probably aren’t furthering conservativism
Rule #6: The priority is issues first, candidates second, and supporters third. Nobody is bigger than the issues. Conversely, if you spend your time focusing on supporters, you are wasting everyone’s time.
STOP THE MADNESS!
A reduction in the rate of spending increases is NOT a cut!
In-state tuition for illegals is NOT amnesty!
Requiring someone to pay their medical bills is NOT an individual mandate!
Reducing tax rates is NOT a tax increase!
He's not a yes... yet

You called it. Stupid Stupak is making the announcement now
E Pluribus Unum (Diary) Sunday, March 21st at 4:10PM EST (link)Although it’s hard to hear what he’s saying. He’s got something in his mouth.
If you get my meaning……
Kill the Terrorists
Protect the Borders
Punch the Hippies h/t IMAO
I can't believe this!
tbaleno Sunday, March 21st at 4:13PM EST (link)Stupak knows that an executive order isn’t worth anything. I consider him more guilty of the healtcare passing than any of those democrats that didn’t have any principles to start.
Stupak went to law school, but he must not have studied very much--an EO is just another way of saying "our current policy is"
JSobieski (Diary) Sunday, March 21st at 4:15PM EST (link)I regret all the previously communicated confidence that I had in the man.
