      <![CDATA[POSSIBLY one great candidate, besides there is only one other and that is BADON,  Personally my belief is that Carville can and will get the job done, totally qualified , considering that he have worked in Washington DC, where the majority of the dollars are that we depend on here. RUN CARVILLE RUN, and YES this is coming from me who is another race, that being Black,  People it's time to stop voting the majority of the times on the RACE CARD, but vote on the QUALIFIED CARD.

      <![CDATA[When I moved to New Orleans in 1990, I was told by most of my friends that you have to have lived there for years, and it would help if your family went back years, to even have a chance at a public office.<br>
    <br>
    Carville is a true southerner, and after reading the requirements of the other cities, change the rules to one year. The great culture and diversity of New Orleans will aways remain, regardless of who becomes mayor, and at least let him tell us what he would do to make it even better!<br>

      <![CDATA[We need (and have needed) a mayor with political leadership and significant experience that can span local, state, federal and international politics--someone with Carville's experience would be a godsend. I am impressed that he is calling for qualified candidates to step up.

      <![CDATA[I was never a fan of Carville's (that's an understatement) but his analysis of the potential for a bright future for N.O. sure got my attention (I heard him on the Garland Robinette radio show today). I agree that the city charter's residency requirements for mayoral candidates seems unduly restrictive and doesn't make much sense.
