I hope like hell that the vast majority of Governors, regardless of political party, are able to implement a plan that is laid out in detail. Blanco and Nagin failed to either read or implement their own step-by-step plan. They both decided to improvise their own emergency plan and oddly, they were remarkably similar:

Step 3: Wait until after the disaster has caused maximum damage.
Step 4: Yell HELP!
Step 5: Complain
