There is apparently a strong write-in campaign for Cheek. Nifong's campaign manager (another thread) dumped him and went to work for Cheek's campaign. I think it's a strong possibility that they can get rid of Nifong. Any republicans they have in Durham can vote in the election when they didn't vote in the primary and other dems may be more interested now than they were May 3.
Thanks. I didn't knwo that an opponent had emerged after the primary. TV coverage has only referred to the D primary and there being no R running. I hope he gets crushed in November.
