| Description | BATON ROUGE -- New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, who defeated Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu for the city's top job two years ago, beat him again Saturday.
At a meeting of the Democratic State Central Committee, Nagin was elected as a superdelegate to the Democratic Party's presidential nominating convention.
The committee picked Nagin over four other candidates, including Landrieu. Nagin won 83 votes, Jerry McKernan of Baton Rouge had 50 and Landrieu had 28.
Nagin will be one of 10 Louisiana superdelegates to the convention. Like the others, he does not need to pledge his support to a candidate beforehand, although both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have been actively courting superdelegates nationwide.
Nagin said he hasn't decided whether to support Clinton or Obama because he hasn't decided which one would be better for New Orleans. |
