Does anybody on the list have any insight into how this really
happened? This strikes me as a really, really unfortunate result, and
the kind of thing that will be really wince-worthy inside of a decade.
But maybe I am missing something?

I don't know what Mike is talking about but what really happened was that the Democrats from the Columbia area "Cut off their nose to spite their face". During the last days of session the Democrats from Columbia tried to filibuster the Mohela bill because they thought it was wrong (they did have a point) while keeping in the 150 Million dollars for MU. This really infuriated the Republicans, so they redrafted the bill in the senate to remove the MU funding and they then passed the bill.

So it wasn't Blunts fault as much as the Democrats from the Columbia
area and it really had nothing to do with embryonic stem cell research
.
