Link to Carville's editorial:

I have no skin in the game really as we live in Jefferson Parish and are about to move to Baton Rouge, but Carville would be awesome. Of course anything would be better than Nagin, he has gone crazy. We own two boat houses on the lake where we have to lease the rights of the space over the water from the city. Essentially you lease the space for 30 years and the immovables (ie the buildings) are yours. Thus, you can sell the immovable and transfer the lease to the purchaser who steps in your shoes. Since Katrina the leases have expired, but we have completely renovated the structures and kept on paying property taxes. Nagin has refused to sign the leases as he feels that it isn't fair that a certain demographic (i.e., upper-crust whites) tend to own these boat houses. He has set up a commission to look into what the city can do to make sure people of all classes can enjoy the properties. He has gone completely crazy. I am willing to sell the houses to any person of any race as long as they have the cash whenever he signs the lease, it has nothing to do with race.

We love it in Louisiana Diablo. Every time I tell someone here that I am from Dallas they ask why I chose to remain in Louisiana instead of moving back to Texas. The answer is simple: there is actually culture in Louisiana, the people are nicer, the cooking, and the laid back lifestyle. No one here is trying to be something they are not, very different from Dallas which is the home of the $30,000 millionare.

The City Council will have none of it, Carville is a threat to all of them.

The thing is Carville would probably win considering NOLA has a history of voting for crazy bald dudes (see Ray Nagin).

Carville just needs to move his happy ass to NO and he too can be Mayor.

He moved to New Orleans a while ago. He is a professor at Tulane now.
