They wanted to know why the governor would ask Nifong not to run for office, since Nifong was appointed acting district attorney long before the Duke lacrosse sex-offense case began to sully his reputation and get him into legal hot water. At the time of the appointment, Nifong had been an assistant prosecutor in Durham for nearly three decades and boasted an apparently spotless performance record. Can't help but suspect the "spotless" bit is pure spin and that Easley knew something the press has failed to find out.

"Is there something special about Mike [Nifong}?" My guess would be that Easley knew Nifong was a political whore so didn't he trust him in the case of an election, but needed somebody who knew the job to hold the place until the next election. As far as I can see Nifong was a decent ADA, back when his personal political aspirations didn't come into play.

If you mixed Nifong and Easley in a pot, you wouldn't be able to tell the crap from the feces.

A rat jumping ship. This is very good news for us and bad news for nifong. It shows him as a little mealy mouthed worm who broke his word to easley. Now watch more stuff come out about this guy. The rat structure wants him out. Probably getting pressure from big bucks duke lefties who don't like having their school trashed. Of course they don't mind have the three players trashed, they ARE after all white, but trashing the school in all of this? Non! If nifong had crushed these kids into taking a plea in spite of being innocent, the duke lefties would have loved it. Now that that aint happenin' they want nifong gone pronto!

Very strange. Was he trying to keep Black out of the office?
