Thanks for your response Clare. First my prayers of course go to your brother. Yes our government funds and permits stem cell research and while there may be certain limitations these can vary quite a bit from state to state(1), but in my opinion the biggest advances will be made in the private sector and from funding from the private sector which is significant. Why do you want to think ... |

Despite a record number of registered voters this year, intense interest in the presidential election and the historic outcome, Ohio's voter turnout was lower Tuesday than in 2004, unofficial statistics show. Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner is reporting 67 percent turnout, compared with 72 percent in 2004. She had been predicting 80 percent turnout this time. The percentage could ... |

quote: Sure. Before Obama, while the Dems were certainly getting the lion's share of the Black vote, turnout was the lowest of any racial or gender qualifier. Small victory, that. Forty percent of the Latino vote was usually better than having all of the Black vote. I'm pretty sure you are full of shit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout... |
