Changes

The general election was scheduled between the top two candidates, the incumbent Nagin and Democratic Lieutenant Governor Mitch Landrieu. Despite his earlier criticism of Nagin, Couhig enthusiastically endorsed Nagin, made television ads urging his reelection, and helped to mobilize the city's Republicans and conservatives behind the incumbent mayor. Couhig's support may have been the "swing vote" that was critical to Nagin's reelection. Couhig said that the Landrieu "political dynasty" had failed the city. (This was a reference to Mitch Landrieu's sister [[Mary Landrieu]] and his father, former Mayor [[Maurice Edwin Landrieu|Maurice Edwin "Moon" Landrieu]].) Couhig noted that the New Orleans population peaked in 1960, even before the rise of the Landrieu family to political dominance.​
