This month Discover offers a detailed comparison of Bush's and Kerry's records on science policy issues:
Examining the positions of both Bush and challenger John Kerry might appear to be easy because both have track records. But feints, winks, and oratorical extravagance are the daily tactics of politics. What's said and seen do not necessarily become policy and lawmaking.

The House and the Senate can make a show of an appealing program by passing an authorization bill, then somehow fail to pass the appropriations bill that pays for it. Often the impression of battle comes from firing blanks. To see where both the bullets and the blanks are being fired, let's examine the major issues of science policy in 2004 and see where the candidates stand.
