Steven Schier (politlcal science) quoted in Boston Globe
Steven Schier, the Dorothy H. and Edward C. Congdon Professor of Political Science, was quoted in a September 7 Boston Globe story about the possible vote in Congress about going to war with Iraq and how that vote could impact races for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota and elsewhere. Schier said a vote on Iraq would result in U.S. Senator Paul Wellstone angering some important part of his constituency at a time when he needs every vote he can get. “If he votes for [military action] he has problems on his left,” Schier said. “If he votes against the use of force, then [election opponent Norm] Coleman has an issue. Coleman would tie it to other military votes Paul has taken.”
