Now back to last week’s question<\/a>, when we asked you this: “I’m a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Yes, I’m a Democrat, but I occasionally run afoul of my own party. For example, I generally oppose abortion rights. I once accused the Obama administration of trying to shut me up. And this election cycle, I donated $1,000 from my leadership PAC to now-Republican Rep. Parker Griffith. The top three industries backing me this election cycle, in terms of campaign contributions? Lobbyists, construction services and lawyers\/law firms. Who am I?<\/i>“<\/p>\n

The answer: Rep. Bart Stupak<\/strong><\/a> (D-Mich.).<\/p>\n

Congratulations to John Neal, who was the only person to correctly identify Stupak. Neal wins a copy of The Blue Pages: Second Edition<\/font><\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
