That's one good thing that came out of the Duke Lacrosse mess...Roy Cooper (the AG, and a real straightarrow) has been shining a flashlight into some inconvenient dark corners since he tossed Nifong to the wolves. Lots of cockroaches scuttling around frantically...fun to watch it play out in the local media.
I think McCrory has a good chance, if for no other reason than the current power structure is about to get tossed out on its ear and Purdue (the current Lt Gov) is going out with it.
