      <![CDATA[I know for a fact that Ed Murray has a deal with Landrieu, agreeing to drop out of the mayor&#146;s race in exchange for an endorsement when he enters the LA-2 congressional race against Cao. Its too bad for Cedric Richmond and the rest of black new orleans that Murray sold us out, and may ruin two elections.

      <![CDATA[Clancy,
    This is an excellent article, one that gave me more hope for a city that so many of us love. Regardless of political affiliation, it is smart, dedicated people with passion for New Orleans and New Orleanians that will make this City into more than what is was - into what it could be.

      <![CDATA[Everybody please go read Cliff's Crib at http://cliffscrib.blogspot.com/2010/01/what-does-it-mean-when-leading-black.html and get a personal validation of what I said about the decline in black leadership. Cliff nails it from the perspective of the folks who have been let down, and he's far more eloquent that I could ever be.

      <![CDATA[Wait. Clancy clarify this for me.  You write, "Georges initially had those photos (and alleged video) because he was hoping the runoff would be between him and Murray &#151; and he&#146;d use them in the runoff to win the race, not in the primary to push Murray out and make him a lifelong enemy.

      <![CDATA[The only thing I don't understand about this is, if Murray's people determined that their best strategy would have been to "attack Mitch" then why does everyone automatically assume such and attack would have to be race-based? Surely there are other ways the candidate could have distinguished himself from his opponent.

      <![CDATA[Eastnolapi, Murray's bill on the Master Plan was indeed supported by most if not all of the Legislative Black Caucus, but it also was backed by white developers and several white neighborhood associations in Murray's district. It was portrayed as a racial thing by supporters of the Master Plan, who ultimately prevailed.

      <![CDATA[I can't believe you are peddling this. Murray has been playing the race for over a year -- the masters plan, defunding the oig because the black guy couldnt get an interview, etc - and you know as well as I do what happened here.
