I didn't expect any less from Sheriff Sealey and I haven't been disppointed. He was supervised and trained by no less than Sheriff Maynor - so what could we expect? The whole trial was a sham about Operation Tarnished Badge - no one really got any time but it did look good in the paper - almost as if the state did care about corruption in Robeson County. Those trials cost the taxpayers alot of money and what a waste they were to a already poor county...

State House Reps. Garland E. Pierce, District 48, and Douglas Y. Yongue, District 46, both Democrats, filed for re-election.
Charles Graham, a retired educator and Lumberton businessman, filed as a Democratic candidate for the District 47 House seat now held by Ronnie Sutton.
Renae O. Hunt has filed to retain her position as Clerk of Superior Court.
The four incumbent Robeson County commissioners up for re-election, all Democrats, filed Monday. They are: Hubert Sealey, District 2; Noah Woods, District 4; Tommy Wellington, District 6; and Lance Herndon, District 8.
For the county Board of Education, incumbents Tony Jenkins, District 8, and Mike Smith, District 6, are seeking re-election.
In the race for Robeson County Sheriff, incumbent Kenneth Sealey filed for re-election. He is being challenged by Lennis Watts, a former state Highway Patrol trooper and former county commissioner, who also filed.
According to the North Carolina Board of Elections Web site, these people also filed for the primary race on Monday:
• Marcus W. Williams of Lumberton filed as a Democrat for U.S. Senate.
• Michael Beitler of Oak Ridge filed as a Libertarian for U.S. Senate.
• James Gregory Bell of Lumberton filed for Superior Court Judge District 16B.
The candidate filing period for both the Democratic and Republican primaries runs from noon Monday until noon Feb. 26. Because most Robeson County voters are registered Democrats, the outcome of the November general election is often decided in the May Democratic primary.
This year, offices up for grabs include U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives; several judgeships; N.C. Senate and House; Clerk of Superior Court; District Attorney; four seats on the county Board of Commissioners; and four seats on the county Board of Education.

Mark Sanford was not nominated by the Republican party to run for President or Vice president. He was not even remotely close to the White House as Edwards was.
The Democrat party leadership need to be held accountable for this guy above just as much as anyone.
