I found this assessment on the Discover site, written by Phil Plait, who hosts the website Bad Astronomy.
His conclusion, in part, states: "So take whatever either man says with a few moles of salt. However, given McCain’s tack to the right and pandering to the religious zealots on so many issues, I don’t expect him to be a candidate who is on the side of science. Obama, on the other hand, has clearly stated his opposition to what has happened to science over the past eight years, and that gives me hope."
