See the differences between Katrina/Rita recovery in MS and TX vs. LA as well. MS and TX are GOP-governed red states and LA, while mostly reddish, has a Dem governor. I don't think this is a coincidence.
Add to that Domenici's interference in ongoing investigations and so on, the Plamegate ordeal, widespread meddling in elections in Ohio and elsewhere....but frankly, the well was poisoned long ago. You can see signs of this in the GOP's constant gunning for Bill Clinton and back further than that to Watergate, maybe even earlier. I really think Watergate was when people stopped believing anyone was in national politics for anything other than self-aggrandizement and greed.
