Coburn amendment

Friday November 6, 2009

Filed under: politics — jackman @ 6:44 am

The Coburn amendment to cut political science funding from the NSF was defeated yesterday. There were some interesting breaks across party lines on this one: McCaskill (D-MO) voted to kill, but the Republican MO senator voted the other way. A similar pattern in Nebraska. Evan Bayh voted to kill NSF funding of polisci.

Ironically, I am at NSF and can’t do an analysis of the vote from behind the firewall etc (blogging my iPhone right now).
