And so goes democracy.

Democracy does not mean victory of a better candidate, whoever you think that is. Democracy is the power of the demos, and demos might be unattractive.

Diclaimer: I have been entirely neutral in this race.

That was an entirely neutral remark I made.

As expected the late returns once again broke very strongly towards Nagin.

[HardRCafé]

I imagine Lieutenant Governor.

[Flying Dog]

Will he run for governor against blanco?

[Sarnstrom]

Perhaps a run against Bill Jefferson for Congress?

He is under investigation, right?

What is it with there and 52-48 results?

Interesting how close the absentees were:
"Mitch" Landrieu  C. Ray Nagin  
12,336                12,512

I'm surprised it was within 200 and that Nagin led.

[Flying Dog]

Nagin should just resign, how can he live with himself. Prick, I hate him!

How judgmental we are.  Open your mind and realize race-baiting can be a very lucrative career.

It doesnt mean it is right.

Nagin's victory speech was awesome! I recommend watching it somewhere if you didn't just see it.

I wonder if New Orleans Republicans broke for Nagin. Maybe they know he'll do a poor job of it and it gives them the perfect opportunity to beat up on an incompetent "Democrat". Couhig needs to get his head read; at least, Forman had the right intention but, at the end of the day, it wasn't enough for Mitch

Not a good result for New Orleans but 52% have made their bed and, unfortunately, the other 48% are going to have to lie on it. New Orleans has, for want of more apt words, sh**t in its own nest

You mean like that Bush loving "Democrat" who won the primary in Texas because of Republicans? He just voted for the latest tax cut for the rich. Of course as I recall some fools on this forum call themselves "Democrats" and supported him.
