"It looks like a lot of that place could be bulldozed," the Illinois Republican said in an interview Wednesday with The Daily Herald of Arlington, Ill.

If Louisiana had 45 electoral votes, rebuilding New Orleans would be a foregone conclusion.

Since it only has 3, there's a better than 50% shot that it won't be.

I have no problem with private citizens rebuilding there, putting their own money and the money of anyone willing to insure them at risk. I would rather the government not do it with my money.

Louisiana has more than three. And, yes, rebuilding NO is a foregone conclusion, but shouldn't it be rebuilt at a place close by that isn't below sea level?

Good analysis

However they will rebuild at least part of it. The Port is definitely important enough to rebuild and the French Quarter wil be restored.

With or without the electoral votes, it should not be rebuilt unless it is built on higher ground.
