SAN FRANCISCO -- Former Secretary of State George Shultz on Tuesday became the most prominent Republican to endorse a $3 billion California ballot measure that would fund human embryonic stem cell research in the state.
"I don't think of it as an ideological or a political matter," Shultz said. "It's a matter of scientific research."

U.S. Rep. Doug Ose, one of those moderate Californian Republicans you hear so much about, is retiring this year after three terms in the House of Representatives. He and Shultz are the only national Republican "names" to endorse Proposition 71, which will be voted on Nov. 2.
The State GOP, of course, opposes the measure.

Bertold Brecht:
Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
