I thought it possible for Kim to throw Nifong under the bus because it IS in her interest. At this point, her legal troubles are behind her, she has sealed the deal with the Fong, so there is no reason not to be truthful. I can think of many stories she can tell to explain her earlier flips (e.g. the Fong lied to me just as much as he lied to you). Plus, if she is interested in book/movie deal, it is much better for her to act like the heroine who took on Nifong and the corrupt power (like the cabbie) than the sex worker who helped perpetrate a fraud against 3 innocents. One thing about Kim -- she is no dummy. She may not be very book smart but she strikes me as as very street smart and knows how to protect herself.

We'll know for sure Sunday night but the FOng should not count on Kim bailing him out.

Under normal circumstances Nifong and Kim are natural enemies. She's already got her punishment for busting probation. However, Nifong could hassle her in the future for more probation violations. Maybe she's decided that if she sticks with her original "crock" story, she can torpedo Nifong's re-elections chances and get him off her case. In other words, her motivations now align much more closely with the three accused lax players than they do with CGM who Kim probably blames for dragging them both into this mess in the first place.

Does anybody know if Liefong has the party connections to perpetuate enough voter fraud to win the election? My sense is that he doesn't, but freepers local to the area would know more.

I doubt that Liefong was really relying on a two-bit whore like Kim to make his case for him. I think he is basing his fortunes on Gottlieb and a couple others.

If Kim was smart, she would never have written that email to that public relations firm in NY. If she is smart, she will tell Ed Bradley on the air that Nifong cut her a deal to get her to flip-flop and say that a rape could have happened.
