Obama is, uh...boring.

That's really all there is to say about him. I don't denigrate the guy because nothing he has said has ever gotten a rise out of me. He's dull.

That young people find him inspirational is sad, but expected in this age of TV-driven novelty.

I view this as typical Dim politics. The black candidate, Obama, can call for this investigation trying to broaden his base while the white candidates, Clinton and Edwards, don't dare for fear of alienating the black vote they will need. Clever on Obama's part, but of course this would also give the AG cover to conduct such an investigation without being accused of only doing so because the defendants are white.

There are several entire classes of villains in this story, the most major being the ordinary racist idiot who lives and votes in Durham NC and who returned the Fong to office with 95% of the black vote after the parameters of this story were well known. How about Obama going down there and telling his brethren that they cannot use the voting franchise as a revenge weapon and hope to prosper in America?

I agree, it is clever. It will be brilliant if he (Obama) can force clinton, Edwards and the DNC to take a position.
Not that the media would tell us if they did.
If, however, he can weave this inot a debate......

he's not real bright, maybe he's not aware of the skin colors of the various participants

Anodyne.

The character he brings to my mind is Chauncy Gardner.

Whatever his motivation, I am glad that a U.S. Senator has joined in with a request of a Federal Investigation. FReepers were calling for one months ago.

Nifong needs to be punished so others won't try to imitate him. He manipulated a case for racial purposes at election time.

He could endear himself to me if he started investigations against Fitzgerald and Ronnie Earle. Both of these men have gone way beyond any semblance of fairness. Both are making political statements with their jobs.

What a courageous stand! Obama calls for an investigation into an obviously corrupt prosecutor!

(sarcasm off)

"The state bar is conducting a very thorough investigation into all aspects of Mr. Nifong's handling of the case," Freedman told ABC News. "It's appropriate for this to be dealt with by a North Carolina agency, not by someone from another state. I do not see the need for any other agency becoming involved at this point."

Except the threat of a federal investigation will keep the state of NC from white-washing the investigation.

The only concern of Nifong's lawyer is for the well being of Nifong, as it seems is that of the NC Attorney General and his staff. If that were not a fact,all the faux charges against Nifong's intended victims would have already been dropped and Nifong and the liar upon whom he rode to electoral victory, would be under indictment and awaiting trial.

Only the mentality of a lynch mob can ignore the facts known by the whole world in this case.

No DNA from the accuser's rape kit was found to match samples provided from 46 members of the lacrosse team.

What the heck is a "rape kit"? Is that something that Al Sharpton hands out to help "victims" go after rich white boys?

I think this is presumptive. Isn't Obama already be accused of not being Black enough. Nifong is secondary to this case IMO. Not many are talking of the real villan, the female accuser. Just because she's female and Black does not mean she gets a free ride in all this.
