New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin recently say he intends to run for governor but not to announce until just before he qualifies in September. He has told sources that, given the choices, he is only candidate who can attract enough African-Americans to the polls to force Congressman Bobby Jindal into a runoff. Republicans agree, but they see Nagin's candidacy as insurance of GOP victory in a runoff if there is one.

This man is an idiot.True. But compared to the current governor, he actually appears to be the brighter bulb.

New Orleans deserves all it wants. As long as men like this incompetent are governing this city, New Orleans will always be the basket case it is.

He is saying if NO had fewer bullet-riddled young men bloodying the streets, the “New Orleans brand” might suffer. People around the country might be less sympathetic to NO’s needs if they had a mayor and police chief who knew how to curtail the highest murder rate in the country. He is nuts.

“New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin recently say he intends to run for governor....”
He’s living in a an alternate universe, one in which his conceit and stupidity know no boundaries. He’s hasn’t a chance in H-E double hockey sticks of pulling it off. And I will add that anyone who votes for this showboat is a flat out ignoramus.

Anyone who votes for Nagin deserves to have him as their governor.

True in general, but a lot of individuals sure don’t deserve the government they are stuck with by the majority.

He's shown his strong leadership capabilities in the things he's done to bring back the 'Chocolate City'.

Take my word for it, if Nagin runs he will be laughed out of the state, the only place he can win anything is in this stupid, stupid city.
HE IS A JOKE

Good Grief! The whole state is a circus.
If these are the ‘leaders’...if these are the best of the best...
reminds me of the old saying, ‘In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king’.
