Hopefully a competent Republican will replace Blanco, then the State of Louisiana can at least respond competently to hurricanes, like Florida has several times.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Certainly, crisis makes or breaks politicians -- truly tests their mettle. Blanco is sure enough no Giulianni.

[Tinian]

Whatta shame. She is, like, totally HOT! Hotter than Granholm!

[SerpentDove]

What about Landrieu? Nah, it would be too good to be true.

[sarasmom]

Bush's fault?

[Hambone02]

Yeah, Jindal should've had that job. Blankstare is worthless. Not many competent Repubs to choose from in LA...

[SkyPilot]

What a pair - Blanco and Nagin.

By the way, that is not a photo shop of Ray "Chocolate" Nagin above.

He really did don a US General's uniform and cigar and mocked Lt Gen Russ Honore - the man who saved his a$$ in the aftermath of Katrina.

Because she can't win.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

She has to be the most imcompetent governor ever in the history of America. Many people are worst off because of her bad decisions.

[BBell]

Bobby Jindal is very popular here in South East LA. He will do a fine job straightening out LA. He was endorsed by none other then Ray Nagin when he ran, and Nagin is a Democrat. Remember the name Bobby Jindal, he is a rising star in the GOP but not too many seem to know it yet.

THANK GOD

Blanco choosing not to run will open up the jungle primary a bit more I'd guess. The real question is does Breaux enter the mix?

Other articles if anyone is interested in reading the comments, etc.
