War on Science

RedBounder had an interesting comment with a co-worker this morning about the White House's views on science, global warming, etc. He says that this will be a key issue for voters.

I doubt it. I'm not being dismissive but I think the key issue is going to be to get out of Iraq and get rid of anyone who supported W all these years. I don't think science itself brings folks to the polls, but it might be part of a larger move to clean house.

Then again, there are two other factors: hard core conservatives like a dash of religion with their science (I don't, by the way) so they may match the pro-Darwin folks nicely at the polls.

Also, never underestimate the Dems' ability to mess up at the pivotal moment.
