Many of you outside of Louisiana are completely miffed that so many of us in Louisiana supported the re-election campaign of Ray-cist Nagin, especially after his chocolate city comments. The fact of the matter is, who was better to run the city than Ray Nagin?

Yeah, I read what Michelle Malkin and others had to say, but the fact of the matter is, Republicans put Nagin over the top. It's Nagin that most New Orleans Republicans voted for in the general election. Here's a few reasons why.

Let's take a look at what we had to choose from out of a field of several candidates:

Kimberly Butler.... Here is a most excellent choice, a lady who is facing both criminal charges and civil charges arising during. In her official role in city government, she disobeyed a judges order by not producing official documents as well as facing civil charges from Disney when she used Disney's New Orleans quarters photo from their website on her website touting her for mayor of New Orleans. Class act.

Peggy Wilson.... She had the endorsement of the Republican apparat, but once again, the Louisiana Republican apparat found itself at odds with the common Republican voter. Why does the Louisiana Republican apparat keep insisting that they have so much influence that their endorsement of one candidate over another Republican candidate actually makes us want to vote against the candidate we really like?

Couhig.... Here was the Republican with the best chance but quite frankly, I don't even remember his first name. I'd much rather have seen a Couhig- Nagin runoff than a Landrieu- Nagin runoff.

Mitch Landrieu Need I say more than Landrieu? Son of former mayor Moon Landrieu who helped bring New Orleans to the decadent city that it is (was). Sister of a United States Senator that threatened to punch George Bush, endorsed by Kathleen Blanco, the DNC, and most of the black Democrat apparat? If Mitch had won re-election, it would have been a body blow to Republican hopes for the future of Louisiana, and a sign against President Bush. He also outspent the incumbent mayor more than 6 to 1.

Mayor Ray-Cist Nagin Outside of saying racist and other stupid things, Mayor Nagin wasn't that bad of a mayor. A black mayor, who won by not winning the black vote, but won the white vote, Nagin was making strides in ending corruption in the city. He was a successful businessman, and a prominent black Democrat that endorsed both Bush for President and Republican Bobby Jindal for governor. He was, is, about as Republican as you are going to get within the city of New Orleans. Nagin's re-election is an endorsement for Bush and a sign that Kathleen Blanco really is in deep trouble.

More importantly, it's another lesson to Democrats, don't go into the states and cause trouble, lest ye be defeated. Like Florida and Ohio, the trouble that the Democrat party tried to cause in Louisiana is only helping Republicans.

For more information on how people feel inside Louisiana about what's going on in this state, I would refer you to Politicsla.com rather than Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity, for a real feel of the political climate in Louisiana.
