New Orleans election

After yesterday's mayoral election in New Orleans, the two top vote-getters were Ray Nagin, who is the incumbent mayor, and Mitch Landrieu, the Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana. There will be a runoff election between these two candidates on May 20. I support Landrieu for the position of mayor of New Orleans. Although both candidates are Democrats, I don't know much about Landrieu, while I dislike Nagin because of his comments that New Orleans should remain a "chocolate city." I hate reverse racism -- this is America, not Africa!

As an aside, happy birthday (or not so happy, depending on your opinion of these individuals) to Timothy McVeigh, Michael Moore, James Buchanan, and William Shakespeare, all four of whom were born on this date.
