The fact that repukes want to blame nangin means they are willing to eat

their own in order to save Nero.

Of course I know opinions differ on this but nangin is in fact a member of the republican party is he not?

Also if anyone has any figures or links to these numbers of "80% of the city was evacuated due to the efforts of nangin" which I heard lots of similar stories from channel surfing but I need something concerte to counter what will soon be emails from my repug relatives who will get their marching orders from micheal wiener soon enough and will barrage me with emails blaming nangin.

1. he was...

But switched parties when he ran for mayor. He had, while mayor, endorsed Bobby Jindal over Blanco. Either way, Nagin did do the best he could to get as many people out of NO as possible.

2. I think you're probably right

until August 29, 2005 despite his switch in parties he probably was one of them

I hope his experience of the past 12 days has made him see just how wrong he was...

3. I can't give you a link, but somewhere on DU is a thread

that says the "best case" scenario predicted 60% evacuation, and Nagin accomplished 80% I think the title of the thread had something to do with Nagin bashing.
