Between the two, one clearly has had, and arguably continues to have national influence, and that's Robertson.
So you lose at the internet again, my friend.

And Robertson is no representative of the Republican Party, and he never would be, being that he is an exclusive representative of conservative Christianity in general (something that the RNC embraces as a part of its' membership, though definitely not the entirety of it).
If Pat Robertson were to ever be a candidate, he could not speak on such a religious supremacy terms as he does and paint things so utterly black and white with his concepts; he is unfit to be an elected official with comments that are of such personal conviction.
However, Nagin makes similar ridiculous comments about God punishing our nation with hurricanes (something definitely not to be in the realm of politics) and atop of it makes racist comments.
And he is an elected member of the DNC, and the DNC has not made any effort to chide or chastise him.
How have I lost this argument at all?
