Tomorrow is Super Tuesday, so who are you going to vote for?
Yesterday, Harold Varmus, president of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, told
Wired that he
plans to cast his ballot for Senator Barack Obama on Tuesday, February 5. Obama represents "a new kind of leader, one without ties to a divisive past and one who portrays through his personal history a global perspective that is both crucial and unprecedented,"
Varmus said in a statement.
Publications and Web sites are scrambling to tell scientists
how their candidates and representatives are weighing in on science; now we want to know what you think.

(An interesting aside: Varmus endorsed Obama even though he directed the NIH under Clinton's husband, and as a New York senator, she is his representative in Washington. He said he admires her "understanding of the relationship between science and the federal government," and would vote for her if she became the Democratic candidate.)
