Obama’s choice for chairman of the DNC:

Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has signed a bill into law banning the use of some state funds for embryonic stem cell research.

The move puts the DNC chairman at odds with President Obama, who signed an executive order earlier this month reversing the Bush administration’s ban on federal funding for research on embryonic stem cells.

Kaine approved the Virginia bill on Monday, according to the governor’s office, the same day he enacted legislation that would permit “Choose Life” license plates in the commonwealth — an act that angered state and national abortion rights advocates.

The governor signed another piece of legislation Monday aimed at promoting “science and technology-based” research and development in Virginia. It contains language inserted by the General Assembly that would prevent a state fund from providing dollars to organizations or businesses that undertake “research in Virginia on human cells or tissue derived from induced abortions or from stem cells obtained from human embryos.”

I continue to be astounded by the decisions made by the man who ran on judgment. Whatever Obama’s desire for bipartisan reach-arounds, the DNC (DEMOCRATIC National Committee) by definition isn’t bipartisan. And Tim Kaine has no business with a D next to his name, much less running the DNC.
