Sources close to the Lieutenant Governor reveal to The Louisiana Weekly that Mitch Landrieu will run for Mayor of New Orleans in the April 22 primary.
With qualifying less than a month away, almost ever political observer views Landrieu as the immediate front runner, as problems continue to mount for incumbent Mayor Ray Nagin.
Landrieu's decision is only the latest development in what is becoming the most eventful election year in recent memory. In a normal election cycle, 2006 would be a somewhat dull election year. But no more. Voters will cast ballots in possibly three statewide elections, a series of "hot" congressional matches, as well as citywide races in New Orleans.
Hey, here is good job for Hitlery. She would be right at home with the crime, thuggery, corruption and useless and ineffective liberal state government...
Good place for her, other than federal prison.
The Landrieu crime family will always follow the biggest money sources.
This is a very interesting developement. Of course, no one even knows when the Mayoral election will take place.
But Hillary has gotten a bad rap, or so I was told.
Isn't he white? What happened to "the chocloate city"?
I don't think he's chocolate enough. God won't bless his run.
/sarc off.
The most disturbing aspect of this is that Mitch has kept a lower profile and kinda flies under the radar.Unfortunately many here dont educate themselves about politics but just vote for whom theyre told. It would be awful if he did get elected mayor of NO then used that as a stepping stone into the governorship. One good thing is that much of the machine's base is scattered over the country. It's funny to see the liberals kicking and screaming to get their hands on the evacuee lists from FEMA to garner more votes (illegally of course since many of these people have no intent to return). I read that the ACLU is coming out against releasing the information b/c of privacy issues. HA!
Dynastic politics! Here we go again!
The MAIN problem with N.O. politics is that certain, powerful, families get entrenched and keep running their sisters/brothers/MawMaws/toddlers- whoever has the name recognition. And they get re-elected again and again and people wonder why things stay the same.
Love to watch the RATS eating their own.
Great. Replace an incompentent with a corrupt incompetent.
If NOLA votes for this guy, I say we give NO back to the French.
