This piece by David Kranz in the Argus Leader is notable:
It is said in Washington, D.C., that Sen. John Thune owes colleagues who stumped for him in South Dakota during the 2004 election. But he won't be paying Bill Frist by backing the Senate majority leader's new position supporting embryonic stem cell research funding. . . .
Analysts expect Frist's shift might bring other Republicans over to that position, but not Thune.
"I think what you are going to see in the Senate is a pretty wide variation of legislation," Thune said. "I support adult stem cell research and cord blood research. Currently, in the real world practice, adult stem cell and cord research are yielding results, and embryonic is unproven."
