YOU DON'T NEED ARCHIMEDES TO WORK THIS LEVER:

51% in Illinois Oppose Prison for Guantanamo Terrorists In Their State (Rasmussen, December 12, 2009)

Fifty-one percent (51%) of Illinois voters oppose relocating some suspected terrorists from the Guantanamo prison camp in Cuba to a prison in their state.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that 39% of voters in the state favor housing the prisoners at the Thomson Correctional Center, a near-empty maximum security facility 150 miles west of Chicago. Ten percent (10%) are not sure.

The GOP can use this question to make every Democrat running for office in IL choose between the voters and Barack Obama.
