    The University of Virginia's Cavalier Daily in Charlottesville,VA, offered an excellent treatment on the subject of claims that the New Orleans vote is being purposely whitewashed.

    Katrina played no race cards. Why should anybody else? Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Tracy Clark-Flory appear to be playing it for all it's worth.

    New Orleans is what it is, and anybody on the N.O. voter rolls who wants to vote can do so if they want to.
