Just one more run off and he wins. His voter base (lets just say they are likely Democrats) appreciates the way he has pursued this case.
I thought he didn't have a runoff, that Nifong's plurality took that primary race.
Hammer. Nail. Right on the head.
You hit it. Way before this case is ever ready for trial, the "accuser" will crawl back under the baseboards like the cockroach she is. Then Nifong can say "She just couldn't bear to go forward", and the whole thing will be dropped. I hope he gets his a$$ sued off, but I doubt it will happen.
The real belly laugh here, however, is the Duke "report" which basically says this: "Although the allegations are incredible on their face and no sane person could believe them, we forgot this was a 'Black Victim of over-privileged White college boys case', so we should have taken it very seriously. We were blinded by the University's 'lack of diversity of life-experiences.' We are so ashamed."
This is precisely the reason why we should dread if the liberals ever got power. They believe that the end justifies the means, and that it's ok if justice isn't served, as long as it's about "getting even with whitey."
