DA election comments

- Elsie Russ, 75, retired

says she Will vote for Nifong.

"I don't think those boys done it. But just over that one case, I can't go against [Nifong].

"If somebody runs over one of our children or grandchildren, we'd want them put behind bars. He's the one to do it."

- Eugene Gordon, 33, Whole Foods employee

Says he's undecided but skeptical of the lacrosse defendants.

"If you got money, you can basically buy your way out of anything. Are you going to take a stand for [the accuser] or are you going to stand with the people who have money?"

- Johnny Bush, 65, systems analyst

He plans to vote for Cheek.

"I think Nifong shot himself in the foot in the beginning by releasing too much information."

- Kevin Prosen, 24, office job at Duke University

Prosen is not sure whom he supports, or that he will even vote in the district attorney race.

"I feel like part of the town will back Nifong because he was aggressive with the lacrosse case. ... Cheek is running basically as 'I'm not Nifong.' It's not a substantial race. It's joke politics."

- Carol Troutner, Chapel Hill

supports the concept of the the Orange county ballot measure.

"I like the idea of having everyone represented. People in other areas have different needs than we do."

- Rita Berman, Chapel Hill

"I'm voting for a seven-person board. It would be beneficial for residents to have better representation."

Duke Lacrosse

Check out those comments.
There are some really stupid people in Durham.

"I don't think those boys done it. But just over that one case, I can't go against [Nifong]."

The DA is knowingly trying to throw innocent people in jail but, hey, it's only one case. Couldn't happen again.

"If somebody runs over one of our children or grandchildren, we'd want them put behind bars. He's the one to do it."

Yes Nifong IS the one to run over your childeren and grandchildren. Ironic that this particular moron chose the "run over" metaphor since Crystal quite literally tried to run over a cop and got set free with a slap on the wrist.

"If you got money, you can basically buy your way out of anything. Are you going to take a stand for [the accuser] or are you going to stand with the people who have money?"

I hate rich people and want them in jail.
