...Obama is clearly the superior candidate on science issues, from disclosing his science advisers to announcing a plan to double research funding over the next decade to establishing clear guidelines for the review of government publications so partisan tampering cannot occur. Yet both candidates have shown far greater affinity to science than the sitting President and a willingness to follow scientific advice. Whichever party wins the White House tomorrow, the next President owes the American people an immediate and lasting commitment to science and a promise never to favor partisan interests above scientific fact.

...middle of a car chase, with Bond's Aston Martin being pursued by a convoy of nasty cars on the hairpin turns of a mountain road outside Siena, Italy. Doesn't matter if the bad guys have enough artillery to stock a Third World uprising; Bond's superior driving skills, and the series' reluctance to kill off its hero in the first reel, make him the victor and survivor.

Says the author: "The credibility of leaders makes or breaks companies...
...national campaign could start listening to current state GOP leaders. The last time Beltway Republicans really had to break a sweat in Florida was during the fierce 2000 recount battle, and many have come to take the state for granted since then - assuming, for instance, that their previously superior ground game will once again prove decisive. One result is that they may not be lending enough of an ear to people like McCain's Florida campaign director, Arlene DiBenigno, another top Crist aide, who can counsel them on Florida's new political tenor...
