I don't know what Monks wants. He is a write-in republican candidate (in a predominantly democratic county), he has no chance of winning, all he has is a chance to split the vote. When he failed to get on the ballot, that should have been his clue to quit.
It's just too bad that he won't.

I don't know what Monks wants.

That is what I am trying to figure out. What is he trying to do here?

Lets just say he wins. He gets to be the DA for one term, then another rat will get elected. He will probably make less money as the DA than in private practice. But he might gain some state benefits. He could use that position as a stepping stone to a higher office as well.

But lets be real here. He isn't going to win. The best thing that could happen to him is for Cheek to win. Because if Nifong wins his hopes of a political career are ruined.

Then there is alway the conspiracy theory that he likes Nifong and is doing this to help Nifong win. But I don't this is it. I think Monks is just a deluded nut who thinks he can win.
