Nifong knew his target audience. Otherwise he could have just picked any 3 fellows on that team since, presumably, everybody who goes to Duke is "rich" (at least by local standards).

He didn't. There was a distinct North East Bias apparant.

So, who is it in the NE who stands out among the white rich boys that'd be a better target sure to drag in the white Democrats in Durham county?

Your boy Nifong played every prejudice he could find ~ and he won office. He crushed is primary opponents and he won the general election just as easily.

It's no big secret that the vast majority of Duke students are from the northeast. That is true of the Lacrosse team as well.

I'm not convinced Nifong did the picking, he just stacked the deck by making the list only LAX players. By the time she could pick, it was easy enough to do research on the guys. She picked the richest guy and the guy with a record.

But I think it was her newly-found "people" who told her who to pick.

"DURHAM - Mike Nifong won the election for district attorney Tuesday even though more people voted against the incumbent prosecutor than voted for him.

Nifong, on the ballot as a Democrat, received 26,116 votes or 49 percent, according to unofficial results that exclude provisional ballots.

County Commissioner Lewis Cheek, a Democrat on the ballot as an unaffiliated candidate, received 20,875 votes, or 39 percent."
"Nifong received 80 percent of the vote in 13 precincts where black registered voters far outnumber whites, according to Durham County Board of Election statistics.

In the 12 precincts where Nifong received less than 35 percent of the vote, white registered voters far outnumber blacks with one exception -- a polling place where many Duke students vote went heavily for Nifong but has a relatively diverse racial breakdown of registered voters."
