Some Democrats can't help but get caught up in the political opportunities they see in destruction and death.

See “Wellstone Memorial” for an example of how well this works for them.

Well, just got electricity back from Gustav. Raked havoc in LA but didn't hurt Metairie, LA outside NOLA very much - at least not as much as we're used to. Bobby Jendal was amazing! Heard Vice President knocked it out of the ball park at the convention. We are trying to find out how we can hear the speech. We're looking at Ike now so it's not over yet. But the Dems didn't have the laugh they thought they would have!!!!!
