This just in from the Drudge Report.... http://www.drudgereport.com/flash5no.htm XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX SUN MAY 21, 2006 20:00:02 ET XXXXX DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE WORKED TO DEFEAT NAGIN **Exclusive** The Democratic National Committee (DNC) secretly placed political operatives in the city of New Orleans to work against the reelection efforts of incumbent Democrat Mayor Ray Nagin, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
