The Associated Press is reporting that Stupak, a member of Congress for the last 18 years, will make his announcement at 12:30 p.m. today in Marquette, Mich. Stupak had been targeted for defeat by some anti-tax, anti-government Tea Party activists for his role in the health care fight.
The real crime about this announcement is that violence played a roll in this. The more than interesting aspect is that The Tea Party is claiming responsibility for it. I happen to agree.
