Sheril and Chris have announced that the invitations to the remaining Presidential candidates for the Science Debate 2008 have been sent. The date is April 18th, 2008, just 4 days before the Pennsylvania primary (the last big primary that may decide the nominees unless something really weird happens before). The location - Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.
