"I'm very disappointed because I feel like I'm being brushed away," says Dellihoue.

Blanco representative Nelson had this to say to evacuees. "We don't have those answers and I have to apologize that we do not have those answers but we will get those answers to you."

"When you need us, we are there," says Dellihoue. "When you need our votes, we are there. Now that we need you, come and get us. We need you now!"

Lynette Byrd makes a final plea. "Governor Blanco, I'm begging you to get us some help. Please!"

2. I think Blanco is done.

Even though I support her position over Bush's, the anger many of those NOLA people is also targetted towards her. No denying that. The problem with Bush this week is that he thought it was a zero-sum game, by which I mean, he thought that if he could effectively blame Blanco he would escape criticism. That backfired badly. Most people feel they are both idiots.

Without New Orleans, a Democrat can not win in Louisiana. Simple.

Blanco may have lost New Orleans (both literally and figuratively). I suggest she start looking for other work.
