Greg Pollowitz makes a good observation:

There’s a good article in today’s Times Pic on how Dems are already planning to use Katrina stuff in their 2008 election plans:Sens. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and Barack Obama, D-Ill., were clearly playing to their party’s base when they invoked Katrina on March 4 in dueling appearances in black churches in Selma, Ala. Clinton elevated Katrina to the status of health care and the war. Obama used it to question Bush’s credentials as a “compassionate conservative.” Of course, before there is on ‘08 election, there is an ‘07 election where Louisiana voters will decide how well their state fared under the Democratic stewardship of Kathleen Blanco. Go Bobby Jindal…Republican fortunes in 2008 might rest on your shoulders!
