Hatch wrong.

Minnesota's DFL endorsed candidate for Governor is wrong yet again.

Mike Hatch is using an issue that is and should stay a federal issue to try to gain on Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty.

Stem Cell research is and should stay a federal issue. It is hard to believe that there are people that believe this should be a local, city, and yes state issue. It is simple to understand it should not be.


Here is part of an article from the Duluth News Tribune. To read the whole article click here, http://duluthnews.com.

ST. PAUL - Funding for embryonic stem cell research -- a splintering issue among Republicans -- is playing an increasingly prominent role in the gubernatorial campaign of DFL candidate Mike Hatch.
In renewing a call to put $100 million in state money toward the budding research, Hatch and his allies worked Monday to portray Gov. Tim Pawlenty as indecisive on an issue where medical promise and moral concerns intersect.
"He has dodged and avoided this issue," Attorney General Hatch said of the Republican governor. "He keeps claiming this is a federal issue. It's not a federal issue. It's a state issue. We can advance here."

Agreed it should be a federal issue. I would think Mr. Hatch is looking for matters to turn into issues, so he latched onto this one. Bad call.

Chris,

Could agree with you more. Hatch needs to try to bring attion to his efforts to become Governor. As you said as well he is looking to make up issues and lached on to one that has no need in State politics.
