I read an article that postulated the political scales may tip in opposite directions for the state of Texas and the city of New Orleans. The author explains that a large enough percentage of survivors that were placed in Texas may choose to live in Texas. This block of people would be Democrat-leaning.
Whereas some Republican-leaning inviduals may see a great opportunity to line not only their pockets, but also those of their cohorts with investing (i.e. buying up property, land) in New Orleans and taking it through a period of gentrification.
In your opinion, does this theory hold any weight?

No. Most people don't even exercise their right to vote. If they did Kerry would have won this year wouldn't he?
Maybe they will move back to New Orleans and vote out the mayor and governor.
