It occurs to me that this election has not yet found its watershed issue. I strongly believe that the stem cell business may yet rise to the occasion. There seems to be an underlying desire in the American electorate to find some moral compass upon which to judge their candidates. Morality in broadcasting may be just the issue that the Reds can convert to their own use. It is just shallow and incendiary enough to do the job. See what our UK friends think. Observer Censored

According to a widely-cited article from Capitol Hill Blue, Nancy Reagan's spokesperson said, "Mrs. Reagan does not support President Bush's re-election and neither do most members of the President's family." Other reports indicate the GOP is going full-tilt to woo Nancy to the podium... with little success.The stumbling block: stem cell research. Stem cell research could provide means of curing Parkinsons and Alzheimers, which killed Ronald Reagan. Reagan's son Ron spoke in favor of the research at the Democratic convention. George W. Bush opposes it, citing the use of aborted fetuses to harvest the cells.Nancy's reportedly out to block the Republican National Committee from using Ronnie's images at their convention. If we tune in and see a conspicuous absence of Reagan-worship, take it as a sign -- the Republican Party's "big tent" may well be about to collapse.
