Nagin was a republican. Dim label to win in Louisiana...bet Nagin voted for W.
"Clarence Ray Nagin, Jr. (born June 11, 1956) is the mayor of New Orleans. He was first elected on March 2, 2002, to succeed his fellow Democrat, Marc Morial. Nagin gained international attention in 2005 for his handling of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the New Orleans area. He was reelected to a second term on May 20, 2006. Nagin was a registered Republican his entire life, prior to seeking office. He officially switched parties to win in a heavily Democratic area."
Again, Nagin and Blanco are two examples of why not to be a democrat.
