I know SchoolBusNagin is just a looney leftist whiner, but that should fit right in with the dems' game plan. Why would they want to get rid of him? Did they think they could control Landrieu (and, of course, the huge hunk of cash to NO) more than SchoolBus?

Nagin is hated because he supported Jindal in the past.

Nagin is a lot more right than a lot of NO politicians.

New Orleans and Southern Louisiana politics are mostly controlled by old money oligarchies, of which the Landrieus are one, and the Morial machine is another (which is the black political machine in New Orleans).

Nagin was a political outsider who came in as a reformer, managed some reforms, and then had his city devastated, his hands tied by a governnor, lieutenant governor and senator who wanted him to fail, and he also made bad decisions beyond the hand tying they did to him.

And he managed to beat the machines.

The power brokers must be crying...between losing to Nagin and having Jefferson caught on film taking bribes, there will be more shakeups, and a lot less skimming the federal pie. And the entrenched will be looking carefully at their chances for reelection.

Nagin is not corrupt thats why many of us conservatives and republicans worked for Nagin sent him money , and called our friends to vote for him. There is a huge difference between Nagin and Landrieu. At least conservatives have a seat at the table with him
