New Orleans alone will be in the hundreds, possibly a thousand. St. Bernard has much less people but will be in the hundreds. Ditto for Plaquemines. I think there will be some people who evacuated who will not return. I have evacuated St. Bernard and am now in Baton Rouge. Others are in Lafayette or Shreveport or wherever. I am not sure if I want to move back to St. Bernard when things have recovered as I do not want to go through this again. So I think many will stay in the state, but when it comes time to redistrict the Congressional Districts, things will be interesting. Right now, CD-2 is mainly just New Orleans. CD-3 is St. Bernard and Plaquemines as well as the entire eastern half of the Southern Coast.
I think Louisiana will still have 7 CD's, maybe 6, in 2010 but will be arranged much differently and will still lean Republican for 2008. Our Congressmen and Senators are doing a good job and this should help their chances. I could even consider voting for Mary Landreui right now. Bush can't run again in 2008, so it's not like people will need to look at this and decide whether to re-elect Bush.
