<DIV><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>There were a lot of factors that played into the
outcome of the 103rd State Rep Race, but after examining all of the precinct
returns, one thing is very noticable.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>The more Working class the precinct, the more
votes that went to Carol Ammons.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>This is true in both Urbana and
Champaign.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>What suprised me were the two prcincts in the
Carle Park area ( Cunningham 9 and Cunningham 10 ). Both went to Carol Ammons,
albeit very close, but I had always assumed that these two precincts were
Prussing / Jacobsen strongholds.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>The precincts that went to Rosenberg in Urbana
were all south of Florida Ave.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>The suprise in Champaign were three Working class
precincts that went to Rosenberg, but not by much. Precinct 12 ( between State
st. and Prospect / University ave. and Green st. ) which happens to be
Champaign City Council member Marci Dodds precinct. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Precinct 19 and Precinct 25 which are west of
Prospect and East of Mattis / south of the railroad tracks and north of
University ave., went to Rosenberg but only by 52 % and 54 %. Toni Fabri lives
in precinct 19 and even though he sat at Carol's table at the Dem dinner months
ago, everywhere I saw Fabri signs I would see Rosenberg
signs.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
