Joe Biden today waded into the now-sensitive discussion of developmentally disabled kids, my colleague Victoria McGrane reports, and differed with Palin on the issue, though he didn't mention her by name:This one's a killer move for Biden. Stem cell research is definately something that separates moderates from hard-core fundies like Palin. The McSame camp is pissed, accusing Biden of making a low blow, but if anybody should be interested in stem cell research to cure genetic disorders like Down's Syndrome, it SHOULD be Sarah Palin.I hear all this talk about how the Republicans are going to work in dealing with parents who have both the joy, because there's joy to it as well, the joy and the difficulty of raising a child who has a developmental disability, who were born with a birth defect. Well guess what folks? If you care about it, why don't you support stem cell research?
Palin reportedly opposes much stem cell research; McCain supports it.
And in all honesty, stem cell research has overwhelming support among moderates, especially women. Palin's on the wrong side of this one and Biden absolutely needs to be pushing Bush's eight year resistance to stem cell work.
