Agreed. But, New Orleans has a large black population who usually vote straight democrat so Landreau fits in perfectly. I give up on their reasoning. Luckily, I live in the suberbs of New Orleans in a different parish - thank the Lord for that. My district is RED - thank the Lord for that too. After the “chocolate mayor” I thought Landreau would be a step up, unfortunately the Landrieus are strictly democrats! Hopefully we can get his sister, Mary, out of the Senate in 2014.
I forgot to say, please don’t let politics keep you from visiting NOLA. The restaurants are great. The history is rich and there is a lot of fun to be had. People that visit say the people are very friendly. I even enjoy going to NOLA and playing tourist once in a while.
