I'm willing to concede that a majority of the residents of tiny Thomson, and Carroll County, support Gitmo North.
But a recent Rasmussen poll finds that a majority of Illinoisans oppose the transfer of al Qaeda terrorists to Thomson. And Rep. Don Manzullo (R-Egan), whose district includes Thomson, has "serious reservations" about it. State Senator Tim Bivins (R-Dixon), a former county sheriff, stated "there are so many unanswered questions" about Gitmo North. Bivins' district includes part of Carroll County, but not Thomson.
Not overwhelming, not bipartisan.
