It would be very overwhelming and she likely does not have the experience that someone like Rudy or Jeb has in dealing with something of this magnitude.
I believe that's why President Bush was so proactive in taking the lead to begin with.
Another point is that we continue to focus on New Orleans, probably the most developed city of those directly affected. If New Orleans is bad--what about Gulfport and Biloxi, and the small areas in between?
Well if she didn't have the stamina to deal with something like a disaster, she had no business running for office IMHO. You either have it or don't and it is obvious the people of LA cannot lean on her the way the people of MS can lean on Barbour. She was clueless in the press conference and now ordering a total evacuation? Made me wonder what was happening. Better to be honest with people IMHO then try to sugar coat it.
