There are a few things that could cost the republicans votes in the coming election but hurricane Katrina isn't one of them.I don't think the democratic party will have much to do with the outcome of the election either.It might come down to the number of conservatives who decide to stay home on election day instead of casting their vote for someone they don't like.
Since when is AP news credible?
