Here's a link to a page with a synopsis of the ad:

Ad Details Currently, half of Specter's television campaign ads focus on stem cell research, according to the Inquirer. One ad running throughout Pennsylvania features stem cell research advocate and actor Michael J. Fox praising Specter for his support of stem cell research and his role in doubling NIH funding for biomedical research. A second ad, which is being broadcast in the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia regions, features a child whose illness was treated using stem cells obtained from umbilical cord blood, according to the Inquirer. However, neither ad discusses embryonic stem cell research -- the "most controversial" form of stem cell research -- even though Specter publicly has urged Bush to expand his policy, according to the Inquirer. Specter, when asked why he is "pushing" the issue, said, "Believe it or not, every now and then, decisions are made on principle, not on counting votes."

So when is MJF going to realize that the Parkinsons medications,that he doesn't always take,have done,and will continue to do, way more than embryonic stem cell research will ever do?

For what it's worth, there's absolutely nothing to gain politically from piling on to Michael J. Fox.
The old ladies love him.

Great research. The GOP needs to go after MJF even harder now for his seemingly inconsistent statements on commercials on the very same issue.
