Time to refocus:
Remember the sample ballots we talked about many threads ago? The Committee publicly endorsed Bishop. Nifong won. Does anyone have a way of getting a sample ballot to see how it was marked? We need one of their sample ballots. I'll be damned if we will let 60 minutes scoop us!

We have to find a sample ballot and see whose name was marked by the Committee.
Bishop or Nifong
If Nifomg is marked, it's a safe bet he promised indictments.

They have no reason for complaining...

If there were a Durham Committee on the Affairs of White People, what would be said if it had no black members?
Seems to me the cartoon hit a...
