There is not a foreseeable reason to vote for or against a presidential candidate based on their views of evolutionism. As I see it, the idea is to vote in a commander in chief. The President is the head of the executive branch of the government, not of the Dean of Harvaard.
In any case it would likely make more sense to vote in a president based on heredity and IQ score... Case in point.

No... i do not think this is an issue very much with any candidate...whatever, their views on this, as long as they are tolerant of the others' views, then this is a neutral issue , at least so far....even some creationists think that maybe God used the evolutional process in his creation... bottom line...there is no physical evidence for either side...and all the witnesses are dead!
more important are issues dealing with how to handle the war in iraq, terrorism, economy, illiegal immigration...

I am not sure how this can influence your vote. To my knowledge every Presidential Candidiate supports the evolutionary theory. Including George W. Bush and even some of the potential conservative runners for 2008.

No. I put a higher value on issues of security, economy, environment and education. Now a candidate's view of evolution may affect his views on some of those but as a stand alone issue it would not be something i would put in my voting priorities.

I've never heard a presidential candidate declare his views on evolution.

I couldn't, in good conscience, vote for someone who refused to acknowledge that Evolution is real science that can be backed up by fact. So, yes. The reason being that line between politics and religion is blurring. The second we vote in someone who wants to do away with Evolution in favor of creation mythology, we might as well kiss our democracy goodbye and welcome our theocracy.

In the UK it's unlikely a politician would express a religious viewpoint-it isn't an issue that is involved in British politics- but if any did express a belief in creationism I probably wouldn't vote for them.

If a candidate is pushing for ID to be taught it schools, I would assume they also have other fundamentalist religious views that I disagree with. So, in a way, yes.

Nope. How they stand on the ideas of smaller government and Libertarian principles is the only thing that ever influences my vote.
