Stem cell funding, a silver bullet for Democrats?

Nancy Reagan supports federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. So does Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah. So do 50 House Republicans.

Last year the House passed a bill to permit federal funding.

But President Bush is against it, and when the Senate votes next Tuesday on the House-passed bill, it will do so in the face of a likely veto.

The House passed the funding bill last year by a vote of 238 to 194, well short of the two-thirds needed to over-ride a veto.

Some Democrats gleefully predict that the veto will boost their chances in November elections.

1. Yeah, but we're not running against GWB in '08

If Congressional were more opposed to it it might help, but if it passed the Rep House and looks like it'll pass the Rep Senate I don't see what major advantage it will give Dems.
