MICHAEL J. FOX was right--at least partially. "What you do in Missouri," Fox said in his now famous TV ad, "matters to millions of Americans--Americans like me." He never mentioned Amend ment 2. He never mentioned the word "cloning." He merely endorsed Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill, the state auditor, and spoke against GOP incumbent Jim Talent. But the subtext was clear: Vote for McCaskill--and while you're at it, vote "yes" on Amendment 2.
"As you might know, I care deeply about stem cell research," said Fox, a longtime and visibly suffering Parkinson's patient, in a spot that first aired during the World Series. "In Missouri you can elect Claire McCaskill, who shares my hope for cures. Unfortunately, Senator Jim Talent opposes expanding stem cell research. Senator Talent even wanted to criminalize the science that gives us a chance for hope."
This was misleading

The Missouri Senate Race is pivotal, and turns out, both sides are counting on the stem cell/cloning initiative as critical in delivering Missouri.
Why does a CONSTITUTION need to be ammended for scientific research?
The rat got caught in a lie and now he has nothing to counter the "broken glass" effect of the Eminent Domain initiative that will bring conservatives to the polls. Nice!
While they are there they will vote Republican.
Incredible isn't it, how phoney politicians can be.
"Just on Fox News: claire mccaskill was in a soul food diner, and said this (while hugging the black woman behind counter): "I like grits so much, I could take a bath in 'em!!!"
Phoney and condescending, as if that black woman wouldn't be smart enough to know when she's being used for a cheap photo op.
