Except LA was starting to turn red. Blanco and Mary barely won. Getting rid of their voting block in NO is political suicide, isn't it?
That's a good point I hadn't thought of.
You would think so...but remember, the dems take their black vote for granted...and I am sure they knew that coming out before the hurricane even left the LA area, blaming Bush...
That it would cement the distrust of Bush and the Republican Party by the poor and black in LA...
And, they also counted on Sharpton and J. Jackson doing exactly what they are doing...race baiting..and they don't have to get their hands dirty.
See, Landrieu expects to get BILLIONS for LA...out of this..and is probably pretty sure, she will be able to spin it that it wouldn't be there if it weren't for her.

Yeah, I think the Louisiana Democrats are way too stupid to plan something that would embarrass Bush. They are simply corrupt and incompetent. But they do have the national Democrats running interference for them.
