There may be some information here in the last paragraph. Of course election law could havve changed since then.

But "have" is still spelled with ONE "v". Good grief. LOL.
Just finally watched the 60 min piece from their website. Current mood: cautiously optimistic.

** Duke students have one more day to register. Books close Friday Oct 13.
And so, to interpret xoxoxox's post: Who, exactly, is pushing this? Is it simple?: Mike needed a way to win. Is it more complex?: Who is Mike's boss and is there an agenda? Is it even more complex? Who is Mike's boss's boss? You get my drift....
This case is just too weird. One has to think that either Mike is a totally irrational and possibly suicidal (career-wise, anyway) nutcase to pursue this; or, somebody has their hooks in him.
But then, as somebody said earlier, nothing about this case surprises me anymore. I just hope we are seeing the beginning of the end starting Sunday. (Wow, that was a weird sentence... just like this case.)
That should have said, "To interpret xoxox's 'earlier' post."
"Duke students have one more day to register."
Friday, the 13th. Ominous? For whom, I wonder?
Prof. KC Johnson coming to Duke--
[Note: Blogging will be a bit light this weekend: I'll be speaking Saturday morning
on intellectual diversity in the academy (and will mention this case a bit) at the
Pope Center's conference, in Raleigh. On October 26, I've been invited to the Duke
campus to speak about the case by ACLU@DUKE.]

First 911 call, walking by, driving by the house. Boys came running out of a frat house yelling n....r at her.Kroger's.. There's a girl in my car that I picked up and she won't get out. She was walking down the road and I picked her up.
We both sipped the drinks and I don't know if she drank any of mine or not.
I did not drink my drink, Precious drank part of her own, spilled the rest, then drank all of mine.
The rape was a crock
I didn't see "the rape" but....
She said she raised her voice at the broom comment..
The players said she slapped the broom commenter..
As we were finally trying to leave the boys began yelling n....r at us...
Bissey standing no more than 15 or 20 feet away only hears "hey b..ch, thank your grandpa for my nice cotton shirt..
Those are just a few off the top of my head.. she's also solicited a PR firm to make her money off this deal.. hey, why shouldn't she?
We also know that the AV's money is missing, so she says. Kim is doing her best to stay in whomever has the upper hand's good graces. I bet someone on the defense team knows more about the missing money than Kimmie wants known in open court...
I would hold off believing anything Kim says without a corroborating witness..
The dominoes are falling. Direct link to KC Johnson's must read:

Neither Durham Mayor Bill Bell nor City Manager Patrick Baker was interviewed for the television investigative report.
Baker said he will be interested to see what new details the show brings to light, but he doesn't believe the Durham Police Department's work on the case should be second-guessed if new statements contradict previous ones.
"If the dancer says one thing to our officers and another to '60 Minutes,' it raises questions about her credibility and the credibility of the entire case," Baker said.
"The Police Department is at the whim of the evidence given to them. ... If people have given the Durham Police Department the wrong information, it's certainly going to affect the DA's ability to prosecute the case."
But, he cautioned, "Keep in mind these men were indicted by a grand jury. ... It wouldn't be the first time an indictment has occurred based on information that is later proven to be false.
I think justice needs to be served. I don't want anyone to go through indictments when they're innocent. If the witness or the victim is not telling the truth, that's going to come out."
Sunday's broadcast will differ from most "60 Minutes" presentations in that two out of three segments will deal with the Duke lacrosse case. Normally, each segment is on a different topic.
It doesn't matter what his initial impression of the evening's events was. The only thing that matters is what can he convince a jury of. Part of that depends on the makeup of the jury.
The moral, ethical and legal issues are separate and relate to the jury; the press and political issues don't. Neither side can plead its case on the press and political issues.
It is indeed time to "out" the accuser - past time, in fact.
Why do you deem it a "supposed" hoax?
It still depends on if and how Bradley spins her story.
Highly unlikely.
Kim is going to do whatever best suits her needs. She has had time to get legal counsel. Hopefully her attorney convinced her not to lie on national TV because it will come back to bite her if she does.
I thought she was supposed to be on home detention. Why isn't she wearing an ankle bracelet? I don't see one in the photo of her with Ed Bradley.
Well...........don't keep us in suspense, for pete's sake! What, exactly, did you see?
Thanks. :>
Much of what happens turns on the election. If the 60M show really is devastating to Liefong, maybe this will sink him and Easley will appoint someone ethical and this can be put to rest. I'm not holding my breath on any of it happening, though.
