Think he'll get a seat on the city council?
Only in a Chocolate City. After he's been convicted of purchasing crack cocaine

Networks Won't Call Convicted Ex-New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin a Democrat | NewsBusters
There is no liberal media bias.
None of the network evening newscasts identified ex-New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin as a Democrat when reporting on his conviction of 20 counts of corruption on Wednesday.
The ABC World News called him "the face and voice of a city in ruins" post-Katrina, and joined CBS in simply labeling him the "former mayor" of New Orleans without the Democratic label. As NewsBusters reported last year, all the same evening newscasts dropped the Democratic label at Nagin's indictment.
And back in January, NBC showed a complete double standard by ignoring Nagin's Democratic affiliation while reporting a GOP congressman's resignation amidst scandal. The January 27 NBC Nightly News made sure to label Trey Radel a Republican as he resigned from Congress after pleading guilty to cocaine possession, but simply called Nagin "mayor of the city during Katrina."
The networks joined the USA Today on Wednesday in omitting the party affiliation; last week, the New York Times ran an entire article on Nagin's trial without mentioning Nagin's party.

Perhaps his buddy, former Congressman (D, La) Jefferson can help finance "School Bus" Nagin's campaign after Jefferson finishes the last 10 years of his sentence for conviction of federal bribery and corruption charges while in Congress.
What a team that would be.
And the chocolate city would support it.
