Call me old fashioned, but I still think is science, good science is essential. Not only for economic growth (which it is) but also for the general good knowledge confers.

Leaving the pros and cons of either candidate aside for a moment (please?) it’s good to see the Democrats getting so far out in front on this issue:

 Boston, Mass Feb. 16 - It wasn’t in primetime. In fact, it wasn’t broadcast at all. The audience wasn’t hand-picked to equally represent the candidates. But a weekend debate at the American Association for the Advancement of Science between science advisors to the Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama campaigns was strikingly similar to forums between the candidates.

A spokesperson for the AAAS said that the organization had put together the session “at the last minute” and that John McCain’s science advisor had declined due to scheduling problems and that they had not received any reply to the invitation from the Mike Huckabee or Ron Paul campaigns

 
Yahoo has the details, but rest assured either candidate would be a big improvement over the current faith-based government.
