Even Nagin himself says that people really have no idea about New Orleans politics. “The nation is being entertained. This is a big reality TV show,” Nagin said of New Orleans and himself. “They don’t get it. They don’t get the people of New Orleans. They don’t get what really happened during Katrina. They really don’t get Ray Nagin. Sometimes I don’t get Ray Nagin, so it’s all right.” — Houston Chronicle [...]

There is so much work still to be done, and keeping us in your readers’ minds is crucial.
Our tourism-based economy has suffered a severe blow, yet there is a
duality to New Orleans RIGHT NOW that makes it a must-see for anyone planning a
vacation. The French Quarter is virtually untouched, the Garden District is
pristine, eclectic Magazine Street, Faubourg Marigny and the Bywater historic
districts are hopping with activity. Visitors could come to New Orleans now and
not see a thing wrong, but the large area of destruction is a side trip they
should not miss. Our world-class restaurants, galleries, music joints, and
especially our wonderful small hotels are all ready for you to come NOW! The
climate is delightful, the city has never been safer. Many of our attractions
are small businesses, owned and operated by New Orleanians who are suffering greatly. With no financial aid forthcoming for the thousands of small
businesses which are the very heart of what makes the traditional “New Orleans
experience” so unique, most are hanging on by a thread. We are counting on the
return of our visitors to keep us going .
We thank you, we love you, and we
need you.

No sympothy from the rest of the country. Good luck building a “chocolate city” without everyone elses help. Nagin has made you a joke! take notes from the Mississippi coast!!!!For those who did not vote for him..I an sorry and I would get out before the next big rain.

The cable news channels are ignoring it for the most part but there are people around the country interested in the outcome.
