Senator blumenthal and i went through the first of what were umpteen wakes and funerals, and we were standing in line at the first wake about to talk to the first set of parents who had lost in this case their young daughter, and i remember being so uncertain about what we were supposed to say to these parents, not just what you were supposed to say to provide some measure of condolence, but we were their elected representatives. We had some additional obligation to show them that we were ready to act, but was it too soon to make that offer .

Ever wrote before he left office, 1984, in abortion and the conscience of a nation and he said, i would believe he would speak of the Stem Cell Research today in the same way, irrespective what his namesake says.

We claim him as a brother in virginia because of affection he held for the south, for southerners and virginians during his entire life even during the difficult war years and especially the days after the war. We must especially claim lincoln as a virginian because the project of his mature adult life was to pick up and rescue from the most virginia value that all men are created equal and work to continue the project that was authored by the other virginia, Thomas Jefferson 85 years before. That was the work of Abraham Lincolns life. [applause] sen. Kaine to be true to virginia values.
