don't think it will happen (Score 1)

Kerry may want a more open debate of this type, but Bush has politicized science enough that I don't think he would enjoy the forum. The truth, though, is that I have seen both parties politicize science. In any case, there are mechanisms in place that make it unlikely that a more open debate of this type does not occur.
