Nagin Wins!

Very unexpectedly. From the Times-Picayune:

With all precincts reporting, Nagin had 52 percent of the vote, compared with Landrieu's 48 percent. It was the narrowest margin of victory for a sitting mayor in the city's modern history. The nearest parallel was the 1982 re-election of Dutch Morial, who won in a runoff that year with 53 percent of the vote.

First Hamas gets elected, and now this. New Orleans just can't get a brake.
