Nagin Re-elected

Well, he's got another chance to lead the city of New Orleans towards its new identity. What the new face of New Orleans will be, remains to be seen. One thing is certain, it's going to be smaller. Most of the city's population hasn't even come back, and many never will.

I don't think Landrieu had much of a chance in this race, but Nagin made so many mistakes during and after Katrina - Is he really the best person for this job? Speaking of race, not suprisingly the votes were split along racial lines. 80% of whites voted for Landrieu and 80% of blacks for Nagin. Maybe it's the comfort factor. The devil you know is better than the one you don't. I hope Nagin's optimism can translate into real progress for the Crescent City.
