US election 2006

The 7 November 2006 US mid-term elections will decide who holds all seats in the House of Representatives, a third of the Senate seats, and 36 governorships. As Democrats and Republicans war for the hearts and minds of their voters, is science playing a role? And what are the science-based arguments taking a front seat in the debates?

Find out in our special.

Are you a working scientist, and would you vote for someone based on their science policies alone? What if a candidate puts the environment ahead of the economy? Would a positive attitude towards stem cell research outweigh, say, questionable policies on education? Tell us!

As they say politics has no ethics but, still election for a democratic country is the chance to select the best.honest and dynamic person who has vision and determination to succeed with justice.

There is no question of selecting priority for the issues which are all vital for the country. So as I said earlier the whole perspective of burning issue should as pronounced by different presidential candidate should be considered for choosing the candidate for voting. But basic priority is his or her vision and determination to do good for general public.
