This was Obama's way of publicly bending over backwards to give the Republicans what they said they wanted. When zero Republicans voted for the stimulus, regardless, the GOP looked like a bunch of partisan obstructionists. Or so the theory goes. I'm not sure it worked, or how we'd even know whether it worked.

It was a pretty harsh dis. But I haven't seen any other national women's organizations going out of their way to publicly stand in solidarity with PP on this one. I think it's because the women's lobby is pretty damned pleased with the way the stimulus turned out. I'm starting to come around to your way of thinking on this one, Cass.

Here's that follow-up blog post I mentioned earlier.

ABC and CBS are <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123326749912530585.html?mod=googlenews_wsj" rel="nofollow">already saying that</a>, and the Democrats will be able to use that for the midterm if the stimulus succeeds. If the birth control provision passes next week, then Obama will have gained political capital at the net cost of one week's delay in birth control.
