"Money Talks," June 9, Capital Eye:
Campaign contributions from the sugar industry were a solid predictor of how senators voted late Thursday on the Central American Free Trade Agreement ... The sugar lobby, which is considered substantially more influential in Washington than comparably sized industries, is by far the most vocal opponent of the agreement. An analysis of campaign contributions shows that although it lost in last night’s vote, the sugar industry chose well when it came to picking senators who would vote no on CAFTA.
