Now that the election is over and this can't be considered just an election ploy :
Rumors are said to have been circulating in Durham to the effect that Nifong might consider (legally) going after a couple of bloggers; that if he deals with a couple of them the rest will be intimidated and fade away.
This is just a heads up; so that if anything untoward happens, everyone will know about it in advance and be able to make the connection.
Oh, my. We kept saying, how could it get any worse? Looks like Nifong found a way.
