It really could come down to Stupak.  It's hard to see the Senate receding to the Stupak language, but if all the Republicans hold together, it could lose over abortion coverage.  (On the substance, of course Stupak is right -- the Senate language does weaken the Hyde amendment, no matter how it's spun.)
