In many Republican precincts in Champaign - as judged by the vote in
the Secretary of State's race - the majority voted in favor of
withdrawal from Iraq. In 32 of Champaign's 38 precincts and in 22 of
Urbana's 23 precincts a majority voted in favor of withdrawal.
As we were tallying the votes at the County building, Republican Rep.
Tim Johnson gave a press conference on his victory in the
Congressional election. He acknowledged that the US position in Iraq
was a "quagmire" and that Americans would not tolerate the status quo
for another two years.
In the spring the Urbana City Council passed a resolution in favor of
withdrawal. At the time, peace activists claimed that the council was
reflecting majority sentiment in Urbana.
This completes the argument.
