Neither you nor Laura Hollis has a clue about Saturday's election. I am a conservative and I worked for Nagin and went to his victory celebration last night.

He won because grass roots white conservatives put him over the top. We did it because he believes in transparent government. We put philosophy ahead of prejudice. Unlike in a Landrieu/Morial criminal enterprise, conservatives will have a seat at Nagin's table. Further the aid money will go to the people who need it and won't be divied up the Louisiana political machine.

Before you look to confirm your biases by reading nonsense, try learning the facts.

I can see taht between Nagin and Landrieu, there wasn't much of a choice, but to think that Nagin is a friend of conservatives and believes in "transparent government" instead of being just another crook, is total delusion.

Can't imagine how conservatives got conned into this, if in fact it's true.

I didn't think there were any conservatives in NOLA.

I am relieved that Landrieu was defeated. This Louisianian thanks you for your efforts.

"conservatives will have a seat at Nagin's table. Further the aid money will go to the people who need it and won't be divied up the Louisiana political machine."

You are right about where the money probably would have gone if Landrieu had won. But that still leave the question of where the ORIGINAL money that had been allocated over the years for all the control projects it had been allocated for.

Oh, and one other thing, is that a chocolate table everyone will sit at?

Having worked Ivan, Dennis, and Katrina recovery projects, I can say that my sympathy for NOLA has dried up and blown away.

Not only that, but with this election, I'll not even make the long weekend excursions that I'd planned, but will spend my money in Biloxi or Destin or PCB instead.

I know people who are still out of their homes after the Ivan/Dennis punch.

But Hollywood and the rest forgot about them after 3 days.
