Tomorrow, New Orleanians spread out all over the country will vote for a new mayor to lead a city that was battered and beat up last summer by Hurricane Katrina, one of the worst storms to hit America in the past century.

The race is heated and while the candidates are talking about issues surrounding the massive rebuilding effort that is underway in NOLA; issues of race, poverty and displacement are also on the minds of voters. They want to rebuild, but first, many want to come home.

For my money (and according to most polls), it looks like there are three main contenders at this point. The top two vote getters will face off in a runoff election on May 20th.

Take a look at the top tier candidates and check back with DoubleSpeak for in depth election analysis and coverage this weekend and in the lead-up to the May 20th runoff.
