Nagin Picked As Superdelegate
Hasn't said if he will support Obama or Clinton
Saturday, May 3, 2008
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin has been elected a superdelegate to the Democratic Party's presidential nominating convention.
The state party's central committee picked Nagin over four other candidates, including Lieutenant Governor Mitch Landrieu, who unsuccessfully challenged Nagin for mayor in 2006.
Nagin won 83 votes in voting Saturday, Jerry McKernan of Baton Rouge had 50 and Landrieu had 28.
Nagin is one of 11 Louisiana superdelegates who will go to the convention and do not need to pledge their support to a candidate beforehand.
Nagin said he hasn't decided whether to support Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama because he hasn't decided which one would be better for New Orleans.
I have a feeling, come election day, it will be one of the lowest turnouts for a national election ever.
For the GOP, perhaps. Democrats always have 150% turnout no matter who the candidate is.
I think this election is going to hinge on whether or not bitter typical whitey voters turn out for Obama should be the Democrat nominee. If Mrs. Bill Clinton becomes the nominee, she will still get at least 90% of the black vote.
He’s a superidiot.
Hell, they should have run him for President.
Is Nagin the “Angel of Death” superdelegate for the Democrats?
I be’s there,if the creek don’t rise!
Maybe we can get Hugo Chavez or Moammar Kadhafi to come observe our election to make sure it’s all on the up and up.
I wonder if he’ll be taking a bus to Denver.
He will be the Super Chocolate Delegate.
I hope he does as good a job as he did during Katrina. LOL
LOL!
Maybe they’ll put him in charge of transportation.
"As mayor of the chocolate city, in the merry ol' land of parked school buses, I state emphatically that it's George Bush's fault that there will be riots at the convention in Denvah!"
Trust me, he’ll vote for the “chocolate” candidate. How could a mayor of a “chocolate city” vote for anyone else?
Chocolate City Mayor Ray "Schoobus" Nagin gives a hearty "Amen" to da Rev'rind Jeremiah Wright at a recent "Hate Whitey" church service.
.
. NOT!
Hasn’t said if he will support Obama or Clinton
Guess?
Anyone want to venture if he’s taking a bus to the convention?
You mean a “Yellow Submarine” don’t you?
They were needing some chocolate.....
Oh, that is just too funny!
You're supposed to choose a president who will be best for the country, not a specific city. That's what the mayor is for, MAYOR Nagin.
He and the other superdelegates will be taking a government paid sabbatical in Vegas after the convention, where many of the mystery employees on the N.O. payroll seem to be caught in some kind of time warp. Must be busy chasing one armed bandits. My faith in the people of this nation took a hugh hit when that bus clown got re-elected. I am series!
Nagin Picked As Superdelegate....
a chocolate mayor supporting a chocolate candidate named ~ b. HUSSEIN....who woulda thunk it????
maybe the lib/dems could use nagin’s water buses to cart the faithful voters to the polls????
Raymond Nagin is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.
I remember... I remember. I can see that Chinese cat standing there and smiling like Fu Manchu saying: The Queen of Diamonds is reminiscent in many ways of Raymond's dearly loved and hated mother... and is the second key to clear the mechanism for any other assignment.

“I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!”
Looking at the cast of characters selected as superdelegates, and considering the amount of money and power at stake, I’m waiting for the first major bribery scandal. Candidate will have plausible deniability, of course. Can’t expect them to keep track of every little thing their minions do, you see.
They should have picked looter guy instead.
But he’s black — and a democrat— so he could have personally slaughtered thousands of other blacks — but the media will still kiss his ass.
Nutty-Nagin is a Superdeligate???? That is rich! LOLOLOLOL
Worst mayor in USA
I think truthfully the Pres just wanted to rip his ears off, but chose to be nice instead.
Yes it sounds like a bad omen for them, except that since the left already won the GOP nomination they cannot loose.
Of course Nagin hasn’t decided yet which candidate to back........hasn’t had time to negotiate his fee.
