Thought Ron was more Democrat than Republican. Ron also fought hard to get stem cell research.

I have always thought he would make an excellent Democrat to run for office. Articulate, compassionate, he connects well to an audience, has insane name recognition, and he is on our side of the issues. I've seen no signs that he wants such a life, but I would be happy to support him if he ever does.

Because he is an atheist. He doesn't think it's tenable.
