I didn't think it was possible for a DNC Chairman to be better for the Republicans than Terry McAuliffe.

I was wrong.

We should all hope that Mr. Dean retains his post for years to come.

That is actually good news, don't really care for Nagin but hey thats pretty good news.

[Vermonter]

Nice find ;-}

[ncountylee]

Landrieu had outraised Nagin by a wide margin - $3.3 million to $541,980.

How much made it to Mitch's campaign I wonder?

[Perdogg]

The ironic thing is that per the Times-Picayune it was Mitch Landrieu that sent the national gurd in to deliever food and water to the superdome, but not have the national guard take them out.

Ahh, the plot thickens! :)

Dean couldn't even do that right.

[Miss Marple]

Well, isn't THIS interesting! Once again, the democrats are shown to be undermining a black candidate.

Let's review the record. The democrats:

1. Backed Nancy Pelosi for minority leader over Harold Ford, Jr.

2. Backed Terry McAuliffe over the former mayor of Atlanta for DNC chair

3. Recruited Fritz Mondale over a black Minnesota Supreme Court judge to run against Norm Coleman after Wellstone died

4. Diverted money from the New York democrat gubernatorial candidate (who was black) in order to attempt to beat Jeb Bush

If the Republicans had behaved like this they would have cried "racism." Now we see that they were undermining Nagin, who at least has the decency to thank the President, unlike Mary Landrieu who does nothing but complain.

I certainly wish the black voters would get a clue about how they are being used.

[Reaganesque]

Why, according to most Liberals, supporting a white guy over a black guy is irrefutable proof of racism, isn't it? Could it be that Liberals aren't serious about race relations after all? Naaaaaaaaaaaah!

-- From The Desk Of Howard Dean --
-- Chairman, Democratic National Committee --

To Do List: Re: New Orleans Mayoral Election

_X_ - Maximize financial contributions to anti-Nagin forces.

_X_ - "Officially" stay neutral.

_X_ - Get fried chicken for Election Day "get out the vote for Landrieu" effort

_X_ - Get as many watermelons as possible (slice thin).

_X_ - Say "whusssup" in every other sentence.

_X_ - Carry Mary Leveau voodoo doll in hip pocket.

_X_ - Try to provoke Nagin into a "YAARRRRRRGHHHH" moment.

[Neville72]

This precious piece of iofo ought to set Jesse, Rev. Al and screaming Howard at each others throats.

Too funny.

[traviskicks]

"Dean came to the decision to back the white challenger, over the African-American incumbent Nagin, despite concerns amongst senior black officials in the Party that the DNC should."

oh come on, the Democrats play the race card enough, let's not stoop to their level.

[LdSentinal]

The election blew up in the Democrat's faces.

Mitch Landrieu would have stepped in as NO mayor and then challenge Blanco next year for governor.

Now Mitch is weakened and Blanco is stronger, which means it well may be a Jindal vs. Blanco race and Blanco has a 35% approval rating. In addition, the Landrieus and Dean have angered Nagin and Orleans Parish blacks which will hurt Democrats in 2007 and 2008.

Now the Democrats must hope for is John Breaux to run for governor.

[plain talk]

Wow on one issue I am actually on Dean's side. Too bad he wasn't more successful.

[BW2221]

First Howie hacked off the gays and now the blacks.

I can't understand why more blacks don't consider the GOP. Vouchers would save their kids from really bad publik skoolz.
