Possibly, but it would be hard to pin down. There has to be a buyer and a seller for each of those transactions. It's a lot of trouble to cover up the commission being a bribe.

When you think about it, living in her daddy's basement sort of works. I mean I've seen the commercials where she is just daddy's little girl.

Mitch may be the best Nola mayor ever but that's an indictment on the mayors the city has had.

A couple of observations:

1. Some people making comments about New Orleans mayoral issues who don't really know anything about the city's politics. Btw, Mitch has done a good job.

2. If the Republicans seriously try to make this residency thing an issue, they may as well concede the race to Mary and focus their resources elsewhere.

Who cares. Just keep away from capitol hill in a voting capacity.

Sorry for the slow response. Football and shite.

Anyway, how so? Because it is a non-issue that will go nowhere and if the Repubs are really that desperate they must not have much confidence in the election.

That's like saying he's the skinniest kid at Fat Camp.

Still though, since he has been Mayor the city of New Orleans has done a 180. Under the last year or so of Nagin's administration no other departments received any direction from City Hall. This caused depts to become their own little fiefdoms. One of the biggest issues Mitch had when he walked in was having to strong-arm all of these entities back into line but do so in a way that produced as little push-back as possible. Sometimes it was diplomatic but at others it was "do it or I will find someone else who will".

He's not a saint by any means, he's a politician through-and-through (he even has a guy who jokes that his job is to follow behind Mitch to apologize to the people he pisses off), but to say he hasn't done good work in New Orleans is just ignorant or purposely wrong.

Don't you just love how the far-left, whacked-out nutjobs on this board are so benevolent with their advice for Republicans on how they should conduct their campaigns!

The residency issue I'm concerned with is the dead Orleans Parish residents that will cast a vote for Mary.
