What is wrong with us in New Orleans? Have we not been screwed by the all of the Landrieu's long enough? Come on folks get some new blood in there these people have made a shamble of our once proud state and no it wasn't Bush's fault either. get a grip and vote for honest effectual leadership not more political couruption. Landrieu is to keep us on the plantation for master and vote the way they tell us to.

Landrieu, a late-comer to the race after initially saying he had no interest in the job, has said absolutely nothing of value so far (i.e., no specific plans); it seems like he is running on name recognition alone.
Two different African American people told me yesterday that many blacks support Landrieu because of his daddy and his sister, believing that it is these connections that can hook us up with change. I don't buy it.
