Does anyone really care whether Nagin is defeated?

What about the mayor of Biloxi, MS, who didn't have any evacuation, and 250 people died? Oh, wait, he's a Republican, so it's OK.

No, but did he have the resources, like Nagin did?  Were the people that didn't evecauate have ability to use those resources and did they have will to use them.


I'm not blaming Nagin for not getting the 80,000+ that chose to stay on the 29th, nor would I blame the Mayor of Biloxi for not getting people out who refused to leave.

The Biloxi mayor never ordered an evacuation. You can trash Nagin all you want, but he ordered a mandatory evacuation. This isn't a question of what resources Biloxi had, he never even tried.

Landrieu should be toast as well.  For all her blaming of Bush, it is interesting that she was unable to mobilize a single bus to evacuate her constituents in the 48 hours priopr to the hurricane, though when she needed their votes, she was able to assemble a hundred or more in less than 14 hours.   I guess it's all about the motivation.

Hahaha, yeah it must be her fault, since a lowly ranking Senator in the minority party has all of the power when it comes to the federal response.
