NO mayoral debate live on MSNBC right now

[MoonRiver]

Naturally, everything they're discussing is about Katrina, and not letting it happen again.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

1. I think Nagin is finished.

[MoonRiver]

2. I agree. But it makes me mad to hear the Repuke accusing Dems

of corruption. Pot meet kettle. :puke:

[Olney Blue]

4. How dare they?

[MoonRiver]

5. They're hypocritical PsOS. eom

[Olney Blue]

3. Bandana GOP woman- please go away.

[MoonRiver]

6. Dems bashing *.

:woohoo:

[Olney Blue]

7. They had poor camera work on that poll of "do you approve

of Bush?" Did it break along party lines?

[MoonRiver]

8. Sorry I missed it.

Got some extraneous distractions going on.

[Keseys Ghost]

9. I got 'em

I know who the pigs are: Foreman, Couhig, and Wilson.

Screw 'em!

[MoonRiver]

11. Thanks!

[Olney Blue]

12. Thanks, KG. Now they are on record.

[Olney Blue]

10. I'm impressed as hell with this Robinson narrator guy.

I'm not from the area, but he is a local newscaster in NOLA, I believe?

[Keseys Ghost]

14. I started a thread on him earlier - he's great!

[Olney Blue]

18. Wow, thanks for the link!

It's nice to have validation of my impression! :loveya:

[MoonRiver]

13. Watson - When will we confront the racism in NO?

When indeed. :kick:

[Keseys Ghost]

15. He looks good

Met him at a NAACP meeting about a month ago. Seems to be a fine fellow.

[MoonRiver]

16. Kuhl!

:kick:

[Catchawave]

17. I like Landrieu

and Boulet, but I still like Nagin too.

[MoonRiver]

19. Must be related to Mary.

[Olney Blue]

22. Her brother, I believe.

[Keseys Ghost]

23. Mary's kid brother

Would do his best...

His dad, last white mayor of NOLA, with strong civil rights heritage.

I think I just made up my mind.

[Olney Blue]

27. Wish I could vote.....

[Radio_Guy]

68. I may try to find a way to vote

The nation needs a New orleans mayor like Landrieu.

[Olney Blue]

69. You live in Alabama? (I was born there).

What's your idea for voting?

[Olney Blue]

21. I'm impressed too.

[Keseys Ghost]

20. Mitch is going to win

That's the buzz in this room right now.

Mitch will win by default.

Ray Nagin is toast.

Ron Forman looks like one of those goons on Popeye.

Done deal.

Mitch wins.

[MoonRiver]

29. Forman - hahahaha! Yes he does!

:rofl:

[serryjw]

62. Good

He sounded the best. I know none of them besides Nagins.

[Olney Blue]

24. Boulet isn't going to survive.

Her pitch included: Don't come to NO if you have a health problem. And she's very nervous.
She's sincere, and obviously a good person, but she ain't gonna make it.

[MoonRiver]

Yep. Zero charisma. Plus, she refused to confront * about Katrina.

:thumbsdown:

[Keseys Ghost]

28. And she'd give Bush a break

She is nice. And very well liked.

She'd kick ass at the Junior League.

She's out of this one, tho.

[Keseys Ghost]

25. Turn off Peggy's mike!

Go home, dawlin'.

It's over.

[Olney Blue]

26. Red bandana GOP woman wants a tax-free city.

WTF?

[Catchawave]

32. I didn't get that either....

how do you raise money to run the city much less rebuild it?

[Olney Blue]

33. Sell red bandanas?

:shrug:

[Keseys Ghost]

35. Turn off her mike

Really.

Loser.

Go away.

[Olney Blue]

38. She seems to have a phobia about landfills....

maybe she's afraid she might end up in one? :evilgrin:

[Catchawave]

36. LOL.......

she's a dilly !

[Olney Blue]

30. Maybe we should have a "write-in" campaign for Robinson.....

:)

[Keseys Ghost]

31. Mark me down!

HO HO!

[Keseys Ghost]

34. "Is this another tag question"

I supported Nagin last time.

You gotta like him. Really.

Just a cool guy.

But, I think he's out.

Seems to be the feeling here tonight across the board.

[Olney Blue]

37. I just don't think he is making a sale tonight.

[Keseys Ghost]

39. No. I can't support him again.

His administration is just another victim of Katrina.

[Keseys Ghost]

40. Peggy Wilson tells the truth about Marc Morial

He is a crook.

[MoonRiver]

41. Tweety is confronting bandana dummy on her statements about

the corrupt government. She won't be direct just accuses EVERY Democrat of being corrupt. Please GO AWAY.

[Olney Blue]

42. Who's Bobby Jenda?

The only good politician they could come up with.....

[joemurphy]

44. Bobby Jindal...House member who lost the election to Blanco.

It's the Republicans who like him. I don't.

[Keseys Ghost]

45. He's a pig

Whore.

[Olney Blue]

46. Thanks, joemurphy...

I remember now.

He's supposed to be some kind of GOP wonderboy, right?

[drthais]

71. OMG-Bobby Jindal

This Man, I tell you
is the fright of our future

looks ok, sounds good
extreme right-wing freakazoid

god in the classroom separation of chuch and state be damned
Republican apologist from hell

interesting that you are take in by him

He's the vanilla Tony Perkins

[Catchawave]

43. I think the Dems are winning :)

[Olney Blue]

47. Agree.

:toast:

Smart and compassionate.....

[ThoughtCriminal]

48. YES there is!

Oh - New Orleans. :-p

[Keseys Ghost]

49. We marched for the dead kid in the Quarter

Black kid killed by white bouncers.

Big issue just before the storm.

[MoonRiver]

50. Watson is so good. He won't let them forget about the racism issue.

:kick:

[Olney Blue]

52. Yes, I'm liking him alot. He needs to be in the next government

even if he doesn't win mayor.

[MoonRiver]

54. Absolutely!

[Keseys Ghost]

51. For me, it's Landrieu or Watson

No brainer.

[MoonRiver]

53. I like them both, but Watson is my favorite.

He seems like a real progressive.

[Keseys Ghost]

55. He is, but it's politics

Foreman scares me. Mitch can win. Maybe not Watson.

[MoonRiver]

56. I'd be happy with Mitch, and I don't even live there!

I do hope we hear more from Watson though.

[gumby]

57. Have red bandanas replaced white hoods?

Just asking?
Whadda PIG! ugh

[Keseys Ghost]

58. Oink!

She's toast now. Not even a footnote.

[Olney Blue]

59. Her name was Piggy, I mean, Peggy Wilson.

Makes me fall to my knees and thank God I'm not a Republican.

[MoonRiver]

60. Haha, I think you got it right the first time.

DId you see that little snoot of hers? :D

[Olney Blue]

63. She had the entire "Pig" motif down to an art.

And it wasn't her looks- it was her haughty attitude. Ugh.

[MoonRiver]

65. She was absolutely classic Repuke. Pigs are a much higher order of being.

I shouldn't insult them with the comparison. My bad. :spank:

[gumby]

70. No, it wasn't just her "looks."

It was her absolutely ugly, ugly mouth speaking for her ugly, ugly mind.

[Keseys Ghost]

61. And the winner is...

Norman Robinson!

[Olney Blue]

64. A star is born......

:applause::applause::applause::applause::applause::applause:

[Olney Blue]

66. Good night all! This was stimulating.

If you are a New Orleans resident, I wish the best for you. I love your city.

:hi:

[MoonRiver]

67. Night Olney Blue!

Thanks for your great input! I love NO too, and wish it all the best! :grouphug:

[Hippo_Tron]

72. I'm probably going to vote for Landrieu

I was initially going to vote for one of the lesser knowns that wasn't even up there tonight, but it looked like he stopped trying.

Now I need to figure out who to vote for, for the lesser offices. The only one that I've really looked into is criminal sheriff. Gusman has been under criticism from the ACLU and human rights organizations for the poor job he did of evacuating Orleans Parish Prison. I've read DeSalvo's platform and it looks pretty good. The only reservation I have is that although DeSalvo is a Democrat, he is endorsed by the New Orleans Republican Executive Committee. I suppose they just like him over Gusman.

Anyway, I need to figure out who to vote for City Council, Civil Sheriff, and Clerk of Court.
