Nagin, Landrieu in New Orleans Runoff
Well there you have it, Ray Nagin and Mitch Landrieu will compete in a runoff next month to be the next mayor of New Orleans. With more then 90 percent of precincts reporting Nagin topped all candidates with 38 percent or 30,260 votes but fell short of the majority he would have needed to win a second term and avoid the May 20 runoff. Landrieu had 28 percent, or 22,073 votes. Nonprofit executive Ron Forman followed with 17 percent, 13,334 votes, and 19 other candidates trailed far behind.
