That aid ? about $17 billion ? is the first piece of the administration's massive stimulus package that can be tracked locally. Much of it has followed a well-worn path to places that regularly collect a bigger share of federal grants and contracts, guided by formulas that have been in place for decades and leave little room for manipulation."

kinda blows the idea that the smart are voting for obama.

But then, we kinda knew the rabble vote were voting for their hand out and not for their ideals.
