At least according to this. They've also set up a AVoteforScience You Tube channel.

example 1
The latest video in the Seed, SEA Action Fund, AVoteForScience YouTube challenge is by Dr. Lawrence Krauss of Arizona State University. He explains clearly that his view is partially colored by the last 8 years where science has been kicked around pretty badly and clearly spells out why he is supporting Obama rather than McCain. Again, any scientists supporting McCain, speak now.

That gets asked more than once as you read the blogs on the main site.

example 2
Now it is official. From the Obama campaign; "With one voice, 65 of the nation's greatest minds, the largest number of Nobel Laureates to ever endorse a political candidate for office, have encouraged the American public to vote Obama on November 4th."


The Nobel Letter of endorsement.


You can check out the "VoteGopher" site on the left hand side.



So far, the posts are solidly pro-Obama, while the solidly pro-McCain/Palin sites are, well, you know where.

Another example, though not from the site itself.

EDIT: Had to fix the title. How did I bugger up the title for this post and NOT notice it?

Argh.

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.

Another example of this guy's lunacy here.

Real scientific support would be giving him a powered armor suit and an anti-grav limo.

Iron-Obaman?

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
Carl Sagan - 1996
