Easley's being wrung out
Lots of Mike Easley's dirty laundry is being wrung out at the State Board of Elections hearings this week.
It looks bad, so far, for the N.C. Democratic Party, too. Testimony yesterday indicates the Easley campaign and the party worked together to funnel contributions through the party to the campaign and, in some instances, might have seen to it that donors were rewarded.
The Easley defense strategy might be to cast blame at others: Good 'ol Mike never asked or ordered anyone to break rules on his behalf.
We'll see how that holds up.

The State Board of Elections is doing a good job of unraveling this tangled trail of apparent malfeasance. Easley stained the state's reputation, and a good scrubbing is due.
