He figured he couldn't beat Bobby Jindal. But he kept people guessing til the last minute. Too bad - I wish Ray Nagin HAD run.

Think it through, folks...
Nagin faked a threat to run for Governor, simply to scare the Democrat State politicos into BRIBING HIM TO NOT RUN...
He knew a run could cost the State, big time...
He knew they would pay him off...
He was right...

Too bad. He definitely would set a Guinness Record as the most stupid Governor in US history.

I cant believe he would actually attempt it. He is useless.

First smart thing he’s done in a couple of years.

You gotta love the Dem party. Where else does completely screwing up a city during a disaster and then fleeing from that city and setting up residence in another state until the water recedes qualify as a resume enhancement that should make a governor out of a mayor?

yup...the piaps told the chocolate mayor that he will run FEMA!!!!!
To: SmithL
I’m soooo disappointed. He would have assured a Jindal victory. Now that result is just highly likely.

He’s hoping for a VP slot on Bill Richardson’s Presidential bid.

It would’ve been fun...especially with a band following him around.

Maybe he was promised a cabinet post by this President in his continuing fog about a new tone in DC.
