Komen, the marketing juggernaut that brought the world the ubiquitous pink ribbon campaign, says it cut-off Planned Parenthood because of a newly adopted foundation rule prohibiting it from funding any group that is under formal investigation by a government body. (Planned Parenthood is being investigated by Rep. Cliff Stearns, an anti-abortion Florida Republican, who says he is trying to learn if the group spent public money to provide abortions.)
But three sources with direct knowledge of the Komen decision-making process told me that the rule was adopted in order to create an excuse to cut-off Planned Parenthood. (Komen gives out grants to roughly 2,000 organizations, and the new "no-investigations" rule applies to only one so far.)
one wonders if karen handel, or someone else, had a way of finding cliff stearns' phone number?

This is an interesting post about the Komen's bumbling handling of their PR mess. Their initial silence and apparent lack of interest in controlling the story! http://www.nonprofitmarketingguide.com/blog/2012/02/01/the-accidental-rebranding-of-komen-for-the-cure/
but on first glance "hundreds of thousands of dollars" doesn't seem like a whole lot of money
The WaPo story says: According to Planned Parenthood, its centers performed more than 4 million breast exams over the past five years, including nearly 170,000 as a result of Komen grants.

I'm really disappointed in Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. That's not what I expect from Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. I always thought Susan G. Komen for the Cure® put women's health first. I guess I never really knew Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.

I don't see Iran as a good candidate for a war of choice. Obama isn't dumb enough to get involved there without Iran forcing him to. Maybe we'll have "incidents" or whatever but war with Iran is nuts. Better to pick a teetering dictatorship somewhere else.

i hadn't heard any of the candidates push it - it isn't a 'controversy' so it isn't really the tactic to pursue, although obv that didn't stop bachmann & the hpv vaccine etc. would be interested to hear if santorum's used it.

The consequences of redistricting in North Carolina—one of the most important swing states in the country—could determine who controls Congress and the presidency in 2012. Democrats hold seven of the state's thirteen Congressional seats, but after redistricting they could control only three—the largest shift for Republicans at the Congressional level in any state this year. Though Obama won eight of the thirteen districts, under the new maps his vote would be contained in only three heavily Democratic districts—all of which would have voted 68 percent or higher for the president in 2008—while the rest of the districts would have favored John McCain by 55 percent or more. "GOP candidates could win just over half of the statewide vote for Congress and end up with 62 percent to 77 percent of the seats," found John Hood, president of the conservative John Locke Foundation.
