#1 YJCMTSU. Your Dem governor amd mayor did such a grand job. You might not want to bring this up, really.

#2 The Dems control Noo Orleans to the extent that whoever gets elected there is gonna be a Dem.

#3 I'd hope that folks see the local corrupt government for what it is.
Also with the locals moved out to Houston and other places, and the new illegals getting entrenched doing the jobs there it'll be interesting to see how things get voted on.
To talk of "Katrina" as having been an event a though it's over with is amazing in itself. They are still suffering down there, it's still a big issue. Where is all of the money that they've been given?

#4 The Republican-run states hit harder by Katrina than Louisiana seem to be doing pretty well. Maybe the Donks should avoid this topic.

#5 Oh, and there's a scandal-in-hiding over the handling of bodies in Louisiana, thanks to their governor hiring some of her cronies to handle the job.

#6 "Where is all of the money that they've been given?"

By now, most of it is probably in the hands of crack dealers, Democrat ward captains, and union/mob bosses.

#7 The problem is that the Republicans went about handling the disaster the same way the Democrats do things. Big, centrally-controlled, bureaucratic nightmares. Flooded cars are STILL all over the place and FEMA trailers STILL stacked up in Arkansas because they insist on dealing with single mega-contractors rather than handing control down to local level (of course the local level would be full of frauds, but at least they'd be cheaper frauds and you'd get some legitimate workers mixed in with them.)

#8 Glenmore is right about why we failed.

But there is no way this issue is going to work the way the dems want it to. If anything, it will allow us to re-fight the political aspect of the Katrina battle. This time without heartbreaking live shots and MSM lies and instead with a thorough appreciation of the corruption and incompetence of NO officials.

As a rightwinger, I relish the chance as the Bush admin's PR job was actually EVEN worse than it's relief effort.

#10 DaveD I agree with you. Sad that we can't catch them at it. The crime that festers while folks are having to live there just kills me.
