Will John Sununu Help President Bush Veto Stem Cell Cures?

From ThinkProgress:

The Senate is expected to vote tonight to overturn President Bush’s strict limits on funding for embryonic stem-cell research, giving our scientists access to the best tools available in the race for life-saving cures.

The president has already said he will veto the bipartisan legislation, just like he did last year. But stem cell advocates believe they are now just one vote shy of the 67 needed to overturn the veto. The key senator hanging in the balance is New Hampshire Sen. John Sununu (R).

Sununu’s ideological alliance with President Bush puts him in an extremely lonely position. Last year, Sununu was the only member of New Hampshire’s entire congressional delegation to oppose embryonic stem cell research.
