In the House? As the minority party?

My point here is that farm subsidies are an issue that you would expect to be regional, cutting across the parties (since neither party seems to be particularly strong in farm states). I would expect the prospects to be better in the House, since D districts tend to be urban rather than rural, since the D's have a wider majority, and since Pelosi is not exactly beholden to a farm constituency, Ratatouille aside. Nor is Read, for that matter. But the Senate is split so narrowly that Reid has to pick his shots carefully.
