Chris Mooney's book "The Republican War on Science" (http://www.waronscience.com/home.php
) is one source of information the Bush administration's record on
science.
As for the potential alternative if the presidency changes party hands
this november, its worth reading Obama's response to 14 key questions
posed by the "Science Debate 2008" group. You can find them on their
website:

If anyone is interested, I have posted a few of my thoughts,
especially on some of the environmental issues, here:

This election is quite pivotal for science and the environment,
indeed, especially given McCain's pick for VP.

Since the political season is heating up, I've been looking for some
solid
information documenting the state of scientific funding under
Republican
vs. Democratic leadership. Does anyone know of good articles or
books on
this subject? I want to be informed so I can argue persuasively.
Personally
I feel this election will be important in terms of future support for
scientific research. Please share your ideas. Thanks!
