Stem cell research bill moves to Bush

The Senate has passed the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act by an overwhelming 63-37 vote. Unfortunately, that won't be enough to override President Bush's veto which will be the first of his presidency. Every Democrat except Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) voted for the bill along with 19 Republicans.

Last year it passed the House of Representatives by a margin of 238-194 with every Wisconsin Republican opposed including gubernatorial candidate Mark Green. Here's the roll call from today's Senate vote:
