There's an idea floating around of trying to set up a Presidential debate on science issues. I was gonna post some snarky thing about the lack of any qualifications whatsoever of the presidential candidates on either side about science, and how silly (yet informative) a debate on such a thing would be, but how it would still be a good idea, as long as they got real scientists to moderate and not let the candidates get away with any spin, and then PZ beat me to it. Figures.
