Nagin Not For Governor of Louisiana

I was watching the news yesterday morning and learned that New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, is not going to run for governor of the state of Louisiana.

Big surprise there, great Nagin and the current governor of Louisiana are two of the most unpopular people in New Orleans. When hurricane Katrina Kaman decimated the city, there were three levels of government that failed the people of New Orleans, the federal government, the state government, and the city government of New Orleans. I find it absolutely ridiculous that Mayor Ray Nagin even considered running for governor of Louisiana.

He does have some supporters in New Orleans, but as I see it that must indicate that there are some pretty poor opposition candidates to run against Nagin. It defeats the mind how the city of New Orleans, the state government and the federal government were unable to successfully collaborate and come up with a plan to save the people of New Orleans and save the city.

Now I know it's not as easy as going out and purchasing the latest collaboration software even with a 30 day free trial, but the almost inexhaustible amount of gridlock that prevented these groups from working together especially in a time of crisis is just absurd and definitely in the make of the nature of what is wrong with government in the United States today.
