Panel Discussion to be Held on “The November Elections, the New Congress and Iraq”

The University of New Mexico Department of Political Science, Political Science Graduate Student Association, Office for Policy, Security, and Technology, and Institute for Public Policy present “The November Elections, the New Congress, and Iraq: A Panel Discussion,” Friday, Jan. 26, Noon-1:30 pm, Student Union Building, Ballroom C.

Did the November 2006 midterm elections represent a political realignment? What are the consequences of a return to divided government in Washington? Is the United States changing course in Iraq? Should it? How might the 2008 presidential elections shape up?

Join Political Science faculty Lonna R. Atkeson, Mark Peceny, Michael S. Rocca, Andrew L. Ross and Christine M. Sierra for a broad-ranging, incisive discussion of these and other questions about the implications of the November 2006 elections, the shift in control of Congress, and the debate on the way ahead in Iraq.
