Ray Nagin versus Mitch Landrieu: Not Black versus White

Now that the two candidates have emerged...let the political jousting begin...first...the losers endorse...then...sides are taken...just like ancient times...when allies prepared for battle...on the surface it seems to breakdown along racial boundaries...but those familiar with politics in the Crescent City know goes way beyond that...for today i will address one key matchup...

Two prominent politicians...former Mayor Marc Morial...and Louisiana State Rep Cleo Fields have made inroads...as their political organizations have made contributions to Mr. Landrieu's campaign...add to that...the Democratic National Committee's committment to Mitch...and you have a strange recipe for Nagin's transition to Republicans for support...where he loses black votes...to a white candidate !!

So don't let the race card fool you...
