The Washington Independent: Obama and McCain Take Part in Science Debate 2008

    That was interesting. Obama went straight to the meat of the subject while McCain avoided the meat and gnawed at the bone instead.

    Obama cited relevant statistics for the decline in science in America and how he would work to get the US back on the technological-science track. McCain meandered about with generalities, nothing specific; completely unfocused.

    Obama was quite verbose on Energy, National Security, Genetics, Stem Cells, Scientific Integrity, Research and Health. All, with the exception of National Security, are I-Don't-Care-About-That republican issues. McCain's responses are more like 30 second ads for TV and radio spots; all talk but nothing specific.
