The votes in this race will be certified today at 1pm...Baker would have had to get 90% of the provisional ballots to win...of course, he did not get close to that!

It is a great day in Wake County...the 23 year Black Dimocrat power base has been broken with this election.

But it will be nasty because the Dims, the media, former Sheriff Baker will attack Harrison at every turn. This race baiting column by black Barry Saunders is just the opening volley. The media has given Baker a pass and we will probably be hearing about gross mismanagement now that he is gone.

If you haven't seen Donnie's dogs, trust me, you will: They'll be sniffing around anyone -- arousing suspicion.

So conservatives are racist and their little dogs too? I wonder how the author would feel if these dogs tracked down someone who had harmed a member of his family, or searched for his missing child, his alzheimers parent, or even, his body trapped in the wreckage of a building bombed by terrorists.

Maybe the low voter turnout was an indictment of a system that frequently refuses to address black-on-black crime.
