Super Tuesday feels like a long time ago.
This week I got my very official looking absentee ballot for the upcoming US elections.
Jeff blogged last week about the absence of science and technology from the Canadian federal election.
In the US, however, presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain are campaigning amid spiraling deficits, crumbling infrastructure and a gathering sense of national enervation. Both candidates have incorporated calls for renewed investment in American science, technology and innovation into their platforms.
As election day draws nearer, The New York Times provides a handy chart comparing the candidates’ goals, policies and positions in this crucial area, while an accompanying article explores their positions in more detail.
My ballot is going in the mail today — two weeks and counting till November 4!
