Umm ...
Seriously, the latest issue of Nature has a special section on the US presidential election, including another Q&A with the candidates:
Barack Obama accepted Nature's invitation to answer 18 science-related questions in writing; John McCain's campaign declined. Obama's answers to many of the questions are printed here; answers to additional questions (on topics including biosecurity, the nuclear weapons laboratories and US participation in international projects) can be found at
www.nature.com/uselection. Wherever possible, Nature has noted what McCain has said at other times on these topics.

Interesting and sad that a man with so much physical courage could have so little intellectual courage.
McCain and Obama have also responded to our voter education initiative, Your Candidates-Your Health, at www.yourcandidatesyourhealth.org. The candidates have answered questions we asked on health, research and science.
In addition, all candidates for Congress have been asked similar questions, and their responses can be compared to public opinion poll data showing where the American public stands on these important issues.
