Stem Cell Update -- House Vote

The House of Represenatives voted by a large margin -- 253-174 with 8 not voting to pass a HR 3, a bill to unleash Federal funds for stem cell research. With the President promising a veto, it would be nice to have the 37 extra votes. Now they turn to the Senate, which was already within 1 vote of a veto proof majority last time. They plan to do some work to get it over the hump.

Here is the breakdown:

Yes No
216 Dems 16
37 GOP 158
