frist-flop

so frist now supports the federal financing of stem cell research. why, just a couple weeks ago republican sites were describing him as "oppos[ing] expanded research" on stem cells.

does this mean that frist has decided that, after going to bat for the christian right on the schiavo matter, he won't lose their support if he turns against them on this issue? or does it mean that he has decided that the christian right is not the kingmaker it is usually treated as being in the republican party? or does it mean that the man has suddenly grown a heart, like the grinch when he hears the hoos of hooville sing?

damned if i know
