Okay, so today it's black farmers. Fine, they've been discriminated against by USDA for going on a century now. But most of the payola is just that. Lincoln, first female chair of the Senate Ag Committee, ain't shy about it either:
"I am proud to deliver this assistance that will help Arkansas's hard-working farmers and ranchers grow their operations and access critical USDA programs," Lincoln said. "I am dedicated to securing funding that will help provide Arkansas's agriculture producers the resources and skills they need to be successful."
As for the rest of us who also need "resources and skills" to be successful, good luck.
Meanwhile, the landscape nationally for Dems doesn't look so great. As in this from independent analyst Stu Rothenberg, editor of the respected Rothenberg Political Report:
"With a week to go until Election Day, House Democrats face the potential of a political bloodbath the size of which we haven't seen since the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
"The largest midterm House loss for the president's party during the last 50 years was 52 seats in 1994. The previous largest losses were 55 seats in 1942 and 71 seats in 1938.
"While some Democrats say their party will keep Republican gains to fewer than 39 seats, Democratic losses are likely to be much higher."
