Re: If JEB were Governor of LA ...
You overlook the fact that Florida had a competent governor who invited and promptly requested federal assistance and coordinated it well.
Louisiana had a governor that to this day refuses to let the feds do their job fully. She has repeatedly asserted state leadership in various areas and only relinquishes them when it is clear that the state is not able to do the job.
Do a search on the governor's requests to FEMA and you will see what I mean. This is starting to break - the details of Blanco's requests and refusals (I predict we will have a big thread on this shortly).
