DURHAM, N.C. -- Mike Nifong is trying to reassure voters that he's the man for the job a day after a potential challenger said he won't pursue the district attorney job.

Nifong admitted Friday that there's some justification to criticism about how he handled the media with the Duke case.

"My handling of the media coverage of this case has occasioned substantial criticism, some of which is undoubtedly justified," Nifong said during a half-hour press conference. "I both underestimated the level of media attention this case would draw and misjudged the effect that my words would have. That having been said, this case remains a Durham problem and it demands a Durham solution."

This clueless Democrap is in a political dogfight because of his ineptitude.

Although Nifong admits mistakes were made, he feels they only apply to his handling of the media. i.e. "I have not backed down from my initial assessments of the case"

With this kind of an attitude, the clown is obviously more qualified for service in Dee Cee than Durham.

It's truly amazing Durham keeps this albatross around its neck.

"I both underestimated the level of media attention this case would draw and misjudged the effect that my words would have."

Translation: "I thought I could get away with it. It never occurred to me that someone might actually hold me accountable."

it is always about him, the corrupt loser, about his assessment, about his judgment, and never about evidence, or justice, or anything else.
