Comparison of Obama and McCain on science issues
http://sharp.sefora.org/innovation2008/mccain-obama/

Obama recently filled out a survey sent to him by by a collection of scientists and engineers detailing his various positions on science (http://sharp.sefora.org/people/presidential-candidates/barack-obama-presidential-candidate/). McCain was sent a similar survey but has not yet filled it out. SEA (Scientists and Engineers for America http://sharp.sefora.org/) collected information from McCain's stated positions and voting record and created this chart comparing Obama and McCain and their scientific stances.

I still find it hard to believe most of the U.S. is living in the dark ages when it comes to science while the rest of the world continues to move forward.

8. Not just the WH
This nation is falling apart on the science front. We need a reality based administration to shore up our reality based education.
