9 Months of Memory
Evidently the folks in New Orleans have less than 9 months of memory. That's the only way I see that Ray Nagins was re-elected as the Mayor for another term.Evidently his opponent failed to remind folks of a few things, like these buses.
Don't worry though, Mayor Nagins is promising to finish rebuilding the city. Hopefully he'll also remember to read the evacuation plan this term, as hurricane season starts June 1st.

This one was a big "who cares." New Orleans was not going to get a good mayor either way. An interesting story that came out after the fact is that Howard Dean and the Dem establishment actively worked for Landrieu over Nagin.
If this even remotely represents the intelligence of the American voter then we are in deep doo-doo. The Democratic party has been talking like we are stuck on stupid for years, maybe they are right.
New Orleans is not completely representative of America but in this case it offers little hope for all future elections.
I was really disappointed with the results of the election. I am thankful that I am three hours north of him.
You know I have to admit I was stunned to see he had been re-elected. What are these people thinking????? And I thought I was going to be sick when I heard him going on and on about God at the beginning of his acceptance speech. It seemed very fake and like he was playing to the crowd. I sometimes get concerned about how gullible the American people seem to be sometimes.
You know, I am glad to see that you posted that photo of the bus pond. That was the first thing that I thought of when I heard that Nagins had been re-elected.
I did find the fact that HoDean&Co had backed his opponent, and that Landreau outmonied Nagins by over 6 times (3.2 million to 500k!) and still lost.
I'm not sure what it says about New Orleans.
This reminds me of the 80s and early 90s when the rest of Michigan could not convince the city of Detroit to get rid of hizoner Coleman Young, possibly one of the worst mayors in the history of the USA.
They deserve him. I was going to say something about building below sea level, but cir said it all.
Hearing some bloggers from LA they say that Nagin was actually the lesser of 2 evils if you can believe that. Yikes!!!!!!!!

Well CP, Louisiana has always had an issue with corruption in politics. Remember the David Duke elections? hahahahaha
ACK! I can't believe N.O. elected this doofus, either. Apparently, he and his opponent were very close politically, so maybe the voters figured they'd go with the lesser of two evils. But still, I can't imagine anyone who'd gone through that voting for Nagin.
