The Details He Dismissed
Recently, we received a link which featured a story that aired on the North Carolina Public Radio Station in Chapel Hill called WUNC 91.5, an affiliate of NPR. It was written by Dave Dewitt, a writer for WUNC who heads the Raleigh bureau per the bio on the webpage.
The piece would have been an excellent summation of the events that unfolded during this sheriff's race except for the ...FACT... the reporter didn't get the "facts" straight. The version he officially and publicly broadcasted ...

Too Much. Too Little. Too Late.
Well, well, well, what have we here. OH, it's yet ANOTHER photo mailer from the John Farmer campaign. Let's see what this one looks like this time.

One flier featured a group of children with no African-American representation. The second showed a group of elders sitting around on the front...

2010 General Election
White Republican Men Lead Record Pace of Early Voting
After three days, one-stop early voting is off to a record-shattering pace for midterm elections and the largest group casting ballots are white Republican men, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan group Democracy North Carolina. (Summary totals at end.)
Two years ago, black Democratic women led all groups in the 17-day early voting period and propelled Barack Obama to a surprise victory in the Tar Heel state. The remarkable shift to GOP men echoes polling data about the...

Was Article Worth The Paper Written On
A recent Wilson Times article read "False flier angers both sheriff candidates - Resident upset by racial overtones." Perhaps somebody thought it a worthy news piece - hey it made print. However in recent days a mailer distributed by John Farmer's camp has surfaced around the city. But only in particular areas of the city and the county. And only to particular citizens around the city and county. Now that's a bit particular and peculiar and worthy...

Wilson Times Editorial on local NAACP
NAACP losing an open, engaged leader
When Alonzo Braggs steps down as president of the Wilson County NAACP chapter this community will lose someone who has brought an open and engaged style of leadership to that position. Wilson has benefitted from those qualities. The hope is that standard will follow as his successor takes the helm.
Braggs, 50, is expected to offer his resignation at the organization's annual meeting tonight. An interim will...
