Kilroy, a Columbus Democrat, has been unflinching in her support of medical research involving embryonic stem cells. Stivers, a Republican, also has said he favors stem-cell research but, as a state senator, he voted against allowing state bond funds to be spent on that purpose. Stivers explained his vote as a procedural tactic to allow an economic-development package to proceed through the legislative process.

Required reading
The Dispatch just put out an article that says Steve Stivers flip flopped on stem cell research. If you didn't already think he was shady, now he's playing politics with peoples' lives. I like that the article called Mary Jo Kilroy's support for stem cell research "unflinching." THAT'S what I'm looking for.
