I seriously doubt that party leaders are troubled by this. Obama ought not in general take prominent actions on divisive issues early in his 1st term, althotuh this one is so predictable that he might as well. But I'm not sure why you conflate presumed majority support for overturning the embryonic stem cell ban with "it's no longer a wedge issue." The strong possibility that the policy on this can swing back and forth like a pendulum depending on which party holds the White House is splendid evidence that the issue is thriving as a wedge issue. 6 moderate republicans have urged Obama to quickly undertake an order to establish policy that will energize the pro-life base.
