You are probably right. Only a Republican would be dumb enough to go back
to live in a city below sea-level. ;-)

Only a Republican would be smart enough to build in one of the areas that
wasn't flooded during Katrina.

You have to wonder how many of the displaced people, will not go back to
New Orleans. I would suspect that New Orleans will lose 20-30% of it's
population. That might be on that nitwit Nagins mind. The longer they
stay away, the less chance there is that they will go back.

Not at all. I believe the GOP star reached its apex in 2004.

And my kids believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy.
Now matter how hard you believe, it will never make it true.

And I don't believe Dubya's less-dumb brother Jeb has a chance. The public
has had it with the Bush family.

My public or your public?

I wonder if he gets any state/federal monies based on population?

Why does politics have to enter into everything?

I just posted a possible reason as to why Nagin might want them back ASAP.

Thaat has been discussed quite a bit in the news..........the majority of
people that have left the state are in the democrat
demographics.................the senate seats and govenor could be the first
to be affected, as well as a possible change in congressional districts.

I don't know about that. I was watching brother Jeb laying out evacuation
plans and hurricane preparations on CNN. Unlike his brother, he is
coherent, articulate and can speak more than 20 words per minute without
losing his train of thought.

I've noticed, over the past three winter snowbirding adventures, that he is
very popular in Florida.

He's beyond "very popular". When the Dems thought that they had a shot at
unseating him in 2002, they sent the big guns (Clinton, Gore, Janet Reno,
and numerous celebrities) down here to support Bill McBride. Just a few
days before the election, the Democrat-leaning pollsters like Zogby had the
race as a toss-up. Jeb won by 13 points just a few days later.

As an added bonus, he's one of the original signatories of PNAC's 1997
Statement of Principles:

He may not run in '08, but there's almost no doubt in my mind that he'll be
President one day.

Did you happen to catch the interview with the Army Corps of Engineers
commander?
A question was posed about the potential of Rita hitting NO and if the
damaged levies could withstand another CAT 3 storm. He said no, but, in the
event Rita hits, they planned to seal off the affected canals at both ends,
so no water could spill into and flood the city.

WTF is he talking about? And, if that works, why didn't they do that before
Katrina?
