WHAT THE HELL IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE VOTERS OF NEW ORLEANS

some here think he was a good president
it dosnt count that hes a liar and an adulter

footing the bill for N.O. hope you are right.

I've heard from a lot of people who were hit by the hurricanes (and even Ivan last year) that didn't get the publicity and aid that NO has gotten and they are really pissed. They have picked themselves up and doing the best they can to rebuild.

One woman was talking about Ivan. She said that they were lucky because their mortgage company signed over the insurance check to them so they can repair the damage and they could afford to rent a house and pay their mortgage while their house was still be repaired (Ivan was in 2003). Others of their neighbors were forced by their mortgage companies to sign their insurance checks over to them and paid off the mortgage and they have no money to fix their houses. Some are living on the second floor because the first floor is uninhabitable and they can't afford to go elsewhere. You don't hear about this.

Others in Florida and Mississippi are discusted with the NO people crying poor me while they look at their homes and neighborhoods flattened and having to start from scratch as well.

Winning re-election no shoo-in for Nagin

Mayor Ray Nagin is nothing if not unpredictable. Sailing toward an easy re-election just eight months ago, he was caught in the crosscurrents of Hurricane Katrina and left for dead by many political observers -- only to rise, Lazarus-like, to a surprisingly strong first-place finish in Saturday's primary, 9 percentage points ahead of runoff opponent Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu.


That said, Nagin is hardly a shoo-in for re-election. As many observers have pointed out, 62 percent of the 108,000 voters who cast ballots Saturday picked someone other than Nagin, a sign of serious trouble for an incumbent.

In a further complication for the mayor, it may be difficult for him to make additional inroads among black voters, who comprised the vast majority of his base in the primary. Although about two-thirds of black voters went with Nagin, most of those who didn't -- about 24 percent -- cast their lot with Landrieu, according to an analysis by consultant Greg Rigamer.

The upshot, assuming that black voters stick with their primary selections, is that only 10 percent of the black vote is up for grabs in the runoff. Of that slice, Audubon Nature Institute chief Ron Forman took the biggest portion, with 4 percent, followed by the Rev. Tom Watson, who took 2 percent.

Nagin has to go thru a runoff to be re-elected. His problem is that while he will face Mitch Landireu, he's also facing the reputation of Mitch's father, Moon Landireu.

... back to vote, but not to take them away to safety during Katrina. Of those bussed back, how many do you think grasped that irony? I would think many bussed back might just "get it" and vote the idiot out!
