"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."

"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."

In addition Nifong barely won the primary too. This idea that he crushed his primary opponent is laughable.

He won 45% to 42% barely avoiding a run off under a typically odd NC runoff law.
