Nifong is clearly intent on using their social corpses as stepping stones to a political career.

The endorsements are rolling in for next month's general election.
The political action committee of the Durham People's Alliance is urging a straight Democrat vote, but urging its 400 or so member to skip a couple of races.
District Attorney Mike Nifong, a Democrat running in what is probably the most publicized race this year, was among those who got the Alliance's nod.
The more conservative Friends of Durham did re-interview candidates, but isn't collectively endorsing anyone for district attorney. Chairman David Smith said earlier this week the committee was just as conflicted as the public over the race and wasn't able to reach agreement after interviewing all three candidates, even City Councilman Lewis Cheek, who has pledged not to serve if elected.
The third heavyweight local political action committee, the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People, plans to interview candidates next week. It's said that the endorsement of two out of the three groups is needed to win election in Durham.
Any idea on who the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People will endorse? And does it really matter at this late date?
