Science Intrudes on Baptist vs. Morman GOP Race

The Brits are rightly amazed by our politics. The Economists reports The Republican battle for the religious vote gets rough and The Telegraph's Toby Harnden provides Mike Huckabee apologises for Mormon 'smear' and ... This recovering Southern Baptist is rather amazed as well. I'd like to also see some serious discussions about how a future Republican administration might address science but figure immigrant bashing sells better for the GOP's average voter. Science Debate 2008 (with further information provided by Wired's Sarah Lai Stirland) might pressure even some of the lizard brains into speaking on a vital issue for the 21st Century. After Bu$hCo's often hostile stance against science we've got lots of ground to make up. Of course that holds true for much facing this next administration. Peace ... or War!
