I fully support and like the idea of a science debate. But shouldn't we have had one of these a long time ago? I think this is one of those topics that would have been even more interesting when there were ten candidates apiece. In fact, my personal feeling is that the guys who would have done the best with these questions, on both sides, have already dropped out. I would have loved to see some other opinions on these issues (I would include the NASA and NIH budgets, as well as the commercialization of space, to name a few.)

Alas, the spent arrow, the spoken word, and the non-science -related debate.
