re: #17 lawhawk

I disagree with your contention that the GOP are likely going to lose because of the creationist policies of their top tier candidates (Pawlenty, Jindal, etc.).

There’s absolutely no doubt that this is a serious losing issue for the GOP; it’s part of the overall perception — not entirely mistaken — that GOP politicians are anti-intellectual and anti-science. Almost every top GOP politician espouses creationism; this is a real problem.
