Was I Wrong About Nagin?

WizBang suggested back in April that, given Mitch Landrieu's political connections as a member of a connected family, that Ray Nagin was the better choice to lead New Orleans. Not only better for the city, but also because it jeopardizes his Mary Landrieu's seat in the U.S. Senate.

Then Drudge reported that DNC leadership, on the decision of Howard Dean, worked against Nagin to ensure that Landrieu won, a story that got Dean and the DNC's attorneys hot and bothered before Drudge sort of retracted the story.

With all of this behind-the-scenes intrigue, it begs the question: was this election ever about the people of New Orleans?
