Oh, yeah, I'm sure it's because his consituency thought he was "real" enough, or "down" enough or whatever -- but God - everytime I see him on tv, I have to say to myself: What the F!!!! He doen't inspire confidence at all!

i agree- he was one of the problems that led up and increased the impact of the disaster-
city wide corruption- each levee has it's own CONTROL BOARD and received millions in federal aid in the decade before Katrina to improve them and the $$ just vanished.
The Army Corps of Engineers predicted the tragedy a decade before it happened but in NOLA it was "business as usual"
there's no effective judiciary there either- gangbangers walk after violent crimes and return to the streets.
It's the usual partisan "Bush bashing" and "blame game" when the chickens come home to roost. Nagin plays the "race card" and he's back at it-
That town needs a good cleaning- maybe a giant Tidy Bowl attachment at the courthouse...

You can tell alot about a city's populace by who they elect.Take for instance Marion Barry.He got caught smoking crack on TV,and the people of Washington DC still appoint him for government positions.

I am almost feeling you on this. I want to not like this guy. I get the true feeling his is bamboozling blacks. I wouldn't call him a "ghetto rat", but I sense that he is not on the up-and-up like he suggests. I don't get the feeling that he is very bright, mostly.

i guess it's because he was media friendly..and one of the few from n.o. talking about katrina..or appearin like he cared. I'm just guessin. they made him out to be some type of hero.
People are gullible. i'm from gulf coast of ms..they wouldn't pick him as our mayor

The same reason Bush was re-elected. People don't like change, so rather than vote someone new in, we just keep re-electing the same idiots to office!

The truth is, he is the incumbent, and none of his cronies want to lose their cushey jobs, so they got him back in at all cost.
