Yes, Harry Connick, Sr. was the longtime district attorney for New Orleans. He retired a few years ao.

Where'd they find the drivers and who paid for the gas? I imagine the taxpayers footed the bill. Will MSM pick up on this?

Which proves Mary Landrieu can't win without New Orleans.
Probably true of Blanco, as well.

He is...I saw him on one of the networks, down there helping people (actually helping - not sean penn type 'helping')

It's been reported he's done alot for the area post-Katrina since it is his family home. I don't think it's been covered much because he's interested only in helping - only the finger pointers, race baiters and hypocrites apparently deserve air time.

The Democrat machines use school buses everywhere to get the folks from the projects to the polls. The drivers get handsome "tips" for their "volunteer" driving in between school opening and closing hours. The school boards wink and look the other way. I'm just waiting for the day there is a fatal accident on Election Day with one of these buses in Newark, or Philly, or Richmond, or East St. Louis.

The 96 election was 5,000 votes that is why they padded it more in 2002. I guess they thought it wouldn't look so obvious.

"Within 45 minutes, we arranged a motorcade,"

Instead of declaring a state of emergency, they should have declared an election.

Dontchaknow, one has to take along a personal photographer and PR man to get the appropriate coverage during a disaster.

On second thought, did they even pay for use?

That was my thought as well. Here I come from the use of Government facilities or equipment for partisan political purposes is ILLEGAL under the Hatch Act.

Partly true for Blanco. She picked up a good many votes in the more ignorant rural parts of Northern LA, because they didn't want a "foreigner" (Jindal) for governor. She also did fairly well in SouthWest LA, where she is from.
