If you look real hard, you can see Green cheering in this cartoon

An article in today's Wisconsin State Journal about the stem-cell bill that President Bush has said he will veto notes that recent polls show about 70 percent of the public supports embryonic stem-cell research. Andy Cohn, spokesperson for the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, is quoted in the article making an important point that Wisconsin voters should keep in mind this fall. Cohn says that passage of the bill to fund stem-cell research by both the House and the Senate means that even if President Bush vetoes this bill, stem-cell research is sure to be fully funded at some point in the near future thanks to the growing public support.

The only question then is where the research will be done. If Rep. Mark Green is elected governor this fall, the research and all the jobs and patents that it will create will be done in another state since he won't allow it to be done in Wisconsin.
