New Orleans vote split on racial lines - Race in America - MSNBC.com
The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina has resulted in a number of unanticipated consequences. The displacement of many of the city's citizens has changed the demographic makeup of the Big Easy. The GOP is starting to salivate at the prospect of changing political winds to their favor and many civil rights leaders supported delaying the election pending some clarity on the status of the evacuees. It does appear that incumbent mayor Ray Nagin will need to fight to keep his job. What are your thoughts? Should this election have been delayed considering that Katrina ravaged the city only six months ago?
