Having just returned from a Miami business trip, I have some catching-up to do. This one has been festering with me for some time. As Rita soaked and buffeted south Florida, it served to remind me just how important competence is among local elected officials.

Mayor Ray Nagin ordered a repopulation of New Orleans as Rita was making her way around the Keys.

Enough words. It has all be written, giving any and every Mayor wannabe enough verbiage to swamp Nagin's reelection effort. But campaigns are about image and telling a story with pictures to maximize emotion.

I plan on pitching any candidate who wishes to announce their campaign to oust Ray Nagin.
