Specter to buck party, vote for stimulus ($6.5b pay to play?)

EXCERPT
Mr. Specter said he would have supported the (stimulus) package even if Democrats had not added $6.5 billion in additional money for the National Institutes of Health to the final version of the bill.
Mr. Specter had sought the money for years, and had mentioned that he wanted the money in the bill when he met with President Barack Obama last week.
Arlen is bitter, spiteful, peeved.
This is his revenge, pure and simple.
