I think the most telling readon why they're all doing this came out in a leaked memo from top Republican Senators who called it "a great political issue" and "tough on the Democrats".
It's no about one woman living or dying, it's about shaming their opponents.
I really do think someone of high media rankings needs to point out that it's pretty hard to say we should save the life of a woman in PVS but it's OK to kill people who murdered someone when they were under 18. How is Terri Schiavo's life more valuable than a juvenile's?
(Actually I support capital punishment, but I also think they should let that poor woman die already! And I believe in assisted suicide.)
