Now Ballance will be destroyed -- and only avoid prison by giving up his underlings in the First District. When the smoke clears eastern North Carolina will have experienced Transformational Development (Section five) and the GOP will sweep the ticket in 2004.
Ballance not only ran a political slush fund with the public's money but he also took tens of thousands of dollars from out of state elements that have been tied to the funding of Muslim terrorist organizations overseas. Combined with his illegal influence peddling of USDA grant funds during the past decade, it is easy to see why the Federal government has recently initiated an additional criminal probe.
Frank Ballance should have stayed on Jones Street playing second fiddle to Mark Basnight. Instead this modern day Icarus flew close to the sun and was burned by the Balkan Solution. The NC GOP has their own General Giap -- and he takes no prisoners...
Frank Ballance beaucoup dinky dao...

Stretching back to 1972, recognized as the real beginning of the modern GOP in NC, there have been 11 elections for US Senate in this State. The Pubbies have won 8. Next year they will make it 9 for 12. No way Erskine Bowles wins, not this year, not with this President on the ticket. In fact Bowles, lost the 02 race to Dole by one of the largest margins ever.
OK, Greg, I'll bite....who is the GOP's General Giap? Might his name be Mr. D?
Finally, if Ballance resigns, the Dems will still win that seat.
