Krewe Char de Guerre/TBofNO City of New Orleans Mayoral Primary Election Predictions
For what it's worth, following are some percentage predictions for today's mayoral primary by Krewe Char de Guerre/The Third Battle of New Orleans contributors. A review of both the 2002 primary and runoff election can be seen here. The total amount of votes in the 2002 mayoral primary was about 134,000. It will be interesting to see how the turnout in today's primary compares to four years ago.
5:15pm UPDATE: According to WWL TV, 16,691 absentee ballots were requested and 9,209 of those were returned and officially cast. Additionally, 20,409 "early" ballots were cast. Using the 134,000 number of total votes in the 2002 primary, the cast absentee ballots would represent 7% of the total votes and the "early" ballots would represent an additional 15%. Combined that would account for almost 1/4 the total vote if that 134k total number of votes is duplicated in today's 2006 primary.

It probably will result in a run-off election between Nagin and Landrieu.
I agree with Big Shot, but I don't think Couhig will surpass Forman (though he deserves to).
1) Mitch -- 25%
2) C. Ray -- 22%
3) Ron Forman-- 19%
4) Inconceivable-- 15%
5) Tom "I Rebuke You" Watson -- 5%
6) Virgina Boulet -- 4%
7) Peggy "crazy eyes" Wilson -- 4%
8) Manny "Chevrolet" Bruno, Kim "Dizz Knee Land" Butler, ...etc-- the remainder
Nagin will run first. Mitch will make short work of him in the runoff.
Since I don't live there anymore, and don't know the day-to-day stuff...I say there's a big turnout and Ray wins the primary. Landrieu is second.
Subject to many caveats: Nagin and Landrieu both mid-twenties. Forman and Couhig both mid-teens. Watson anywhere from 5 to 15 or even 20%
Regarding the countrywide post, buried deep in today's p.A6 Picayune story on the buyout plan, you'll find that tbe finance industry wants buyout checks to be written like insurance checks-- Payable to both owner and mortgage co.
