TIME: Stem-cell impact hard to predict

A sidebar in this week's TIME magazine looks at the politics of stem-cell research. Here's their bottom-line:

In Missouri, though, stem-cell research is only one issue in a target-rich environment for Democrats: McCaskill is spending more time talking about the Iraq war and Republican corruption than about Talent's opposition to stem-cell research. And as she campaigns in conservative rural areas, McCaskill is making the issue more of a test of Talent's character than of his ideology, pointing to instances in which he has waffled in his opposition. So it's hard to predict how much the stem-cell question will figure in the Senate race's outcome.

TIME also has this AP photo featuring Sen. Talent, KY3's David Catanese, KSMU's Missy Shelton and the AP's David Lieb.
