He has supported embryonic stem cell research in the past. I think his position is evolving to the good.
McCain is baiting Obama into a discussion about medical science and pro-life issues, and he started off by taking the center ground.
McCain, for whatever you feel about him, is pro-life, and will appoint pro-life justices. But by waving the red cape of embryonic stem cell research, it signals to the center that, hey, I like science and medical research too.
But it's a red herring. Most Americans aren't really tracking on the difference between types of stem cell research. But they do understand grisly pictures of late term abortions, and the visceral late term practices that Obama voted to protect.
So, either Obama abandons this point to McCain, or he jumps into the unborn life issue, the grim details of which he is far too extreme on for most of America. McCain's deep in Obama's OODA loop again.
It's another nail in Obama's "liberal extremist" coffin if he does, or it's a battlefield abandoned to McCain if he doesn't.
“Clearly, John McCain supports it,” he said, emphasizing that the ad is intended to refer to all forms of stem cell research, including experiments using human embryos and those using cells from adults.”
He’s given us Palin and now believes that he can go full blown lefty.

Thanks for the link!
It seems this McCain spokesman, Brian Rogers, is contradicting McCain’s position.
They need to clear this up, and how.
Good points!
McCain is used to being around battlefields and live ordnance to boot, this is one minefield Obama will be wise to avoid.
On another thread today he was quoted as saying he was opposed to embryonic stem cell research.
I declare we have more trolls on this forum then we know what to do with trying to stir up trouble. It won't work, the idiotic bozObama is going down in a big way.
Hi, everyone,
New video from CatholicVote.com
Powerful

Powerful and very, very true.
I agree. That’s why these things are done on Friday. The McCain website is very clear, he does not support this.
I’m also willing to bet his campaign spokesman never even said this.
A HUGH mistake! It cancels out the Trig Factor.
