NOLA Mayoral Race Ends - Not Quite - in Runoff Next Month

Incumbent Ray Nagin will face Lt. Gov. Landrieu in a runoff election next month since neither got 50% or more in Saturday's voting.

Shame on everyone who tried to make it as difficult as possible for displaced NOLA residents - especially poor minorities - to vote. I believe there is a serious effort underway to whiten New Orleans and that, after the atrocious federal response to Hurricane Katrina, is really quite criminal.

Unfortunately, much of what goes on as "business as usual" in Bush's America is like that.
