AP: "Too Close to Call"

NEW ORLEANS — Voters were deciding Saturday whether incumbent Mayor Ray Nagin or challenger Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu should oversee this city's long recovery from Hurricane Katrina — one of the largest reconstruction projects in U.S. history.

Whoever wins the too-close-to-call election takes office a day before the June 1 start of the next hurricane season in a city where streets are still strewn with rusting, mud-covered cars and entire neighborhoods consist of homes that are empty shells.

No preference in this election really, but I didnt see a live thread yet, and I believe polls have closed or are near doing so.

Rootin' hard for Nagin here. A Landrieu win could do wonders to keep LA a Dem state (with the help of his sister). Keeping Nagin in power will give us a chance.

They really dont have much to vote for. Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Dum. Neither is worth the price of a gallon of gas to get to the polls.

My sense is that "too close to call" early on election night probably means a big win for the conservative guy.

I heard (I think on Rush) that some Texas outfit offered to buy up and remove all of the abandoned cars, which would have given the City millions of dollars, and SchoolBusNagin turned the offer down. How could anyone be stupid enough to re-elect this loser?

LOL, I swear His face was all over the net. I am surprised no one ever tracked him down and interviewed him

I was thinking this afternoon...that having Nagin win would be a better "story"...and would be interesting, when/if another hurricane heads that way this year.

He is such a buffoon!!!

Landrieu is just sleazy.

Didn't Republicans get Nagin elected in the first place?

Just out of curiosity, did Nagin get those buses running today to ship people off to the polls? LOL!

I hears "School Bus Nagin" turned down the vehicle deal, beacause he would make more money from another outfit. Which sounds about right. I mean the other outfit was simply going to remove them for scrap, but this other outfit offered Nagin more money, and that's the way you do business in NO!

"How could anyone be stupid enough to re-elect this loser?'

IS IT STUPIDITY, OR AMNESIA?

Hmmm. Interesting choice, but I'm still going with stupidity.
