Hank: Here's the transcript of the ad, which I saw in full last night. What in it suggests Fox sees a cure in it for himself? You are free to infer that from what he says, but I don't think that's accurate. To the contrary, he's pretty clearly saying let's work to find a cure. Does it personalize it? Yes, by putting a face on a devastating disease. But how is that different from any other advocacy piece--hungry, distended children in Ethiopia, cleft-lip kids in south america, hurricane-ravaged New Orleanians wandering the streets.

• Michael J. Fox: Stem cell research offers hope to millions of Americans with diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
  
  But George Bush and Michael Steele would put limits on the most promising stem cell research.
  
  Fortunately, Marylanders have a chance to vote for Ben Cardin.
  
  Cardin fully supports life-saving stem cell research. It's why I support Ben Cardin.
  
  And with so much at stake, I respectfully ask you to do the same.

the ad I linked to yesterday is different.
