George Allen: "I think my priorities for the national government should be national defense, education, law enforcement, basic scientific research and also put a little aside, put some aside for prescription drug coverage."

Not exactly the inspiring stuff you'd expect from someone who calls himself the next Ronald Reagan.

What do you suppose his call for "scientific research" could refer to? Embryonic stem cells, perhaps?

“I would support medical research on embryonic stem cells that are currently frozen and could otherwise be destroyed, provided that there are strict, enforceable and ethical guidelines governing this research and medical applications … I believe funding such research may result in advancements that will save lives.” -- George Allen, Richmond Times Dispatch, 7/24/01

George Allen, has never, will never, would never refer(red) to himself as "the next Ronald Reagan."
