John Edwards thinks Kerry is Jesus

Does John Edwards think Kerry is Jesus in saying this?

When John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk. Get up out of that wheelchair and walk again.

Embryonic stem-cell research has been overhyped, peddled along with many lies. Bush is just restricting federal funding for this type of research, and has not prohibited private funding. Those guys who make a lot of noise just want government money because they cannot get private funding by the merits of their achievements, actual or potential.
