The best and brightest of American scientists have endorsed Barack Obama in the upcoming election and blast the Bush Administration for its disdain for science:

During the administration of George W. Bush, vital parts of our country’s scientific enterprise have been damaged by stagnant or declining federal support. The government’s scientific advisory process has been distorted by political considerations. As a result, our once dominant position in the scientific world has been shaken and our prosperity has been placed at risk. We have lost time critical for the development of new ways to provide energy, treat disease, reverse climate change, strengthen our security, and improve our economy.

By the way, this is the guy who predicted quarks.
