"I don't think creating controversy around yourself on issues not necessarily important to the majority of your constituency is being an effective politician," said Jim Lea, former chairman of the New Hanover County Democratic Party. "The controversy (s)he created over the years may unfortunately outweigh the good (s)he's done."
Jim Lea is Senator Boseman's attorney. The quote comes from his comments regarding the announced retirement of Senator Jesse Helms in 2001. If you took the above quote and applied it to Sen. Boseman you might begin to hear what we have been hearing this past couple of weeks, that there is a push by the local democrats to get Boseman to step down. Apparently the Dixie Democrats are not happy about the possibility of having the senator on the ballot which just might cause voters, particularly if the African-American voters are going to split the ticket, to screw up the elections for other marginal candidates. They feel they can win the senate seat and keep everything in tact with little effort by simply replacing Boseman with Mayor Bill Saffo before August.
All this makes you wonder exactly who is it that wants Julia Boseman to stay? Well besides all the out-of-state kooks. I mean really, who?

it never occured to me that the democrats would want her out. Im a democrat and i want her out too. I just thought i was the only one!
And yes Bill Saffo would save the day!
Yawn. This blog sure has become rather boring. Nothing more than the rants of a jealous girlfriend.
Which girlfriend? There ARE so many!
Bill Saffo's brother gave a grand to Boseman, hopefully to encourage her to bow out. But really if you think about it the dems dont have a chance dragging Boseman into the senate with all this baggage and all the new stuff aching to come out in the near future. So why not get her out and put someone electable in. Im a democrat but there is no way Im voting for Julia. She is a trainwreck and Im surprised the democrats havent moved any quicker than they have. Perhaps it is to allow Julia to test the waters with these new ads she is running and then a focus group to tell her to get out.
By then she will have a breakdown though and it will all be moot except for the fact that she has a hundred thousand dollars she could give to her replacement.
You can only have a breakdown if you have a conscious. I agree, Julia needs to be removed so we can put an electable & respectable democrat in office. Even if she is re-elected, I'm sure this investigation will at the very lease make her ineffective. It will probably land her in jail. Julia has done some good in the past but has become like all other politicians. "Too big for her britches!" Spoken like a true old Wilmintonian.
