\"\"<\/a>Recently, the WSJ Health Blog<\/a> posted results from a survey that concluded if Obama wins the election, he should work to stabilize the economy before pushing to overhaul health insurance or create cap-and-trade system for greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n

That’s OK as far as it goes, but I’m more interested in which presidential candidate — John McCain or Barack Obama — is better for the pharmaceutical industry and why. Specifically, I seek the opinions of people who work within or for the industry.<\/p>\n

I don’t want to debate the issues here, so I set up a special 2008 Presidential Election News & Views<\/a> discussion board on Pharma Marketing Network Forums where we can anonymously debate the pros and cons of Barack Obama vs. John McCain.<\/p>\n

I invite you to express your opinions about the candidates and debate the issues in this forum.<\/p>\n

You are also invited to take the short, online survey “Who’s Better for Pharma: Obama or McCain?<\/a>” to answer the questions “Who do you plan to vote for in the 2008 Presidential election?” and “Why?”<\/p>\n

Your comments are confidential (anonymous) unless you specifically provide your contact information at the end of the survey and allow me to attribute comments to you personally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
